The answer

Your grandmother's vow for her grandson to perform Hajj is not binding and she is not obligated to anything. A vow is "the commitment by a responsible, free-willed individual to God Almighty, through speech, to do something that is not originally obligatory by Islamic law." A vow cannot be binding upon another person, because that person is not under the authority of the one making the vow.
