In order to perform tamattu, your should perform both Umrah and hajj in the same journey and not in tow separate journeys.

We are residents of jubail.we went to India for vacation via jeddah. We did the niyah for umra already in India we are now back in jeddah. Where should we wear the ehram in jeddah or meqat?

If when you flew over the meeqat, you didn’t wear your Ihram and made the intention, you must go back to the meeqat and make your Ihram from there.

It is best to shave off head completely by men, as Prophet peace and blessings be upon him made Dua three times for the head shaven people and once for those who take hair around their head.

Is it permissible to perform Umrah or Tawaf on behalf of deceased ones as my father intend to perform Umrah on behalf of my late grandfather. What about the sacrifice of animals on behalf of deceased ones on Eid ul Adha..is it also permissible or not ??

You can perform Umrah for the deceased but not a separate tawaf. It is best to combine the deceased with you in your own sacrifice.
