I'm curious if anyone has gone move through move to check if he's really mimicking his actions from 30 years ago, or if he's just shadow boxing and it coincidentally looks like the same moves.

It was likely Nagamine or someone having fun with the storyboard.

I don't know what the intention of the creators was (although the similarities were probably deliberate since it would be a pretty big cosmic fluke if they weren't), but to me, it does seem like Goku was reenacting the fight. The movements were 1:1, he even moved back and forth a bit after he did his first punch. It looks really awkward but it mirrors Grandpa Gohan blocking his punch.

TotallyNotMark made a note of this in his review of Super.
