The pot looks a little big but instead of repotting it, you could just water less but that’s always a little tricky. If you’re looking for cheap pots, I know Walmart sells all sizes for ceramic as low as 75¢!

I’d say smaller pot. Terra cotta is always great with succulents. Personally those attached saucer pots have done me dirty and I think it’s tougher to get all the water out.

Smaller and shorter would be better. But more than anything else, that soil mix is far too dense. I recommend 50/50 soil and drainage material
