No. There are any number of history books that grapple with this material. It’s easy to know what Hitler wrote and what he believed. There is literally no reason to read it other than if you were doing genuine academic study and even then it’s been pretty throughly mined.

It’s a bit of a struggle.

It’s a badly written book. It’s one of the maddening parts of the whole Nazi enterprise, the seminal text, was very badly written.

I don’t think unless you are doing a textual analysis of Hitler’s writing or a very deep dive biography there’s much to be gained that can’t be accessed in a more digestible form elsewhere.
In reference to your question, Hitler did not have a coherent philosophical idea so none can be garnered from his writings or speeches.

I read a little bit. I don’t think there’s a great point to reading, seemed like mad rambling largely.
Typical historical books probably explain his rhetoric better.
