Very roughly equivalent.
CC-BY-NC-ND allows some usage that your license prohibits, and vice
versus. (Format that can be distributed. Who can distribute it. Who
can use it.)
Then there is the whole issue of what "non-commercial" means, for the
CC-BY-NC-ND. Your license clearly prohibits charging for
distribution. Your license does not otherwise discriminate against
any field of endevor.

That depends.
* What were you hoping to achieve with the license that you created?
* What problems do you think the CC-BY-NC-ND license solves that your
current license does not solve?
I will point out that the CC-BY-NC-ND is probably better understood
than your license.
However, in the case of a legal dispute a court will probably pay more
attention to what you believe your license to mean, than what you
believe the CC-BY-NC-ND license to mean.
