"Crossing the River Jordan" symbolizes the movement of a human's consciousness, a transformation from the earth-bound viewpoint to a transcendent one. When a person realizes (not just believes) his/her identity with the Source, or Divine, or God (whatever you choose to call Original Cause), he/she has "crossed," or in some church terms, has been "born again."
This movement is not a matter of belief, which amounts to a notion or concept held to be true, a word-symbolization of What Is; realization is a knowing, as in knowing that you are, that you be (as in I Am).
Celebrate that you are (we are) the Son(s) of God.

The crossing of the Jordan River, as accounted in the Book of Joshua would not have taken very long. The River itself is not powerful (aside from the fact that they crossed on dry land) and it is not terribly wide. It probably took a few hours considering how many Israelites were crossing.

Moses crossed the red sea in order to escape from the Egyptians and slavery. After they crossed the Red Sea, they wandered around for 40 years. At last, they were guided by God to the promised land which they had to cross the Jordan River to enter. Unfortunately Moses died just before they entered the promised land, so the Israelites were guided by Joshua. So the Red Sea: escaping from slavery in Egypt. The Jordan River: entering the promised land.

No. The Jordan River is not that wide. It is maybe a few feet across, so there would be no place to stop or perform sacrifices. Additionally, the crossing of the Jordan was part of a military move to attack the city of Jericho, meaning that there would be no time to perform a sacrifice during the crossing as they needed the element of surprise in warfare.
