There are actually 2 deities that are the 'god' of the OT. El & YHWY (pronounced Yahweh) both are originally Canaanite in origin and older then Judaism. El as in Israel has compound names such as El Shaddai and Elohim. He is portrayed as an old man and the father god of a vast pantheon. His consort was Asherah (mentioned in the OT) YHWY is the son of El and Ashera but later Ashera becomes his wife. YHWY was El's cupbearer and originally a storm deity. The Jews were not originally monotheistic and large parts of the OT were re written
to exclude other gods when they became monotheistic at about the time of Ezra. There montheism was casued by the influence of the Persian Religion which had only a god of evil and a god of good, like Satan and God. The Persians relased the leaders of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity about 2600 years ago.
The jews conbined El and YHWY into their unamed 'God'
Jesus is certainly not the God of the OT. The OT is Jewish in origin and has little to do with Christianity . Jesus was a practicing Jew and never claimed divinity of any sort. The divinity of Jesus was invented by Christians like Paul of Tarsus for their own purposes, probably a free lunch. To the Jews, according to one of their ancient texts of the 1st century (sorry I've forgotten the name) was a bastard heretical sorcerer whose mother was a tart

What does the Bible say? At Ps. 83:18, it says that Jehovah is the Most High. When announcing to Mary that she would have a child, the angel Gabriel told her that he would be called SON of the Most High. (Luke 1:32) In that same verse, Gabriel also said that "Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his Father."
So, Jesus is not the God of the OT. Instead, he is the Son of God. John 10:36

Yes.
So many Messianic predictions are recorded in the Old Testament that the likelihood of one man fulfilling them all was slim. However, Jesus Christ's birth, life, and death happened exactly as the prophets foretold. Isaiah proclaimed, "Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name [God with us]" (Isaiah 7:14). Micah told the Jewish people their leader would come from the tiny town of Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2) The timing of Messiah's arrival was revealed to Daniel, who recorded the timeline in his writings. (Note: The word "week" in Daniel 9:25-26 actually has the meaning of "seven years"--just as in Genesis 29:27.

Yes, He is also known as Jehovah in the Old Testament. Some Christians equate Jehovah as being God the Father, but revelation has made it clear otherwise.

Jesus claimed to be the son of man. Many times he referred to himself in the third person, as the son of man.
The God of the Old Testament never called himself the son of man, he called himself "the Lord your God." The God of the Old Testament was in general very short tempered.

(Joh 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(Joh 1:2) The same was in the beginning with God.
(Joh 1:3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(Joh 1:4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
(Joh 1:5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(Joh 1:6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
(Joh 1:7) The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
(Joh 1:8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
(Joh 1:9) That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
(Joh 1:10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
(Joh 1:11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
(Joh 1:12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
(Joh 1:13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
(Joh 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

NO!!!!
The G-d of the OT is the creator of the universe. He is undivided, and has no physical children.
