Is proto-indo-european in any way close to what IE peoples spoke or is it just a complete guess? I fail to grasp what "reconstruction" actually means.

It's an educated guess. Obviously we have no idea what the language was really like, otherwise we wouldn't need to reconstruct it. But by comparing modern IE languages and studying their evolution, we can come up with reasonable assumptions on what their actual vocabulary and grammar were like.
