Yes, tar is very good at that.

Wait a second. Did you do these two steps in exactly this order? Because if you did, then after ln -s you ended up with a symlink in /usr/usr, and after the second step you did not have a /usr at all, because the symlink got moved with the whole old /usr to /usr-old/usr. > I don't mind removing it.
