So, if the CoIE retcon didn't affect Darkseid, then why do people refer to his classic version as 'pre-crisis' darkseid?
Because he generally had better feats before CoIE
Also, what is the difference between the Omega Beams and the Omega Effect?
The latter is more uber

There is no difference between the "Omega Beams" and the "Omega Effect".
The real distinction is between the Finder Beams and the actual Omega Effect. The Finder Beams are the visible beams you see in comics, they have no power of their own and can traverse dimensional boundaries. They're controlled by Darkseid's mind and ideally should never, ever miss and shouldn't be reflected or absorbed or any nonsense of the type because they're not conventional energy in that sense, more like a laser pointer.
The Omega Effect is the actual power that is activated once the Finder Beams strike their target. Darkseid mastered the OE by drawing it into his body and soul and braving its furies so you can be sure every time he is hit by his own power and hurt in any way shape or form that its a steaming pile of PIS.
Edit: The Omega Sanction seems to be a more sophisticated form of the OE that instead of erasing the target forces them to live out a series of increasingly bleak lives, trapping them in theeir own personal hell.

It was neither, Thanos was going to, then Drax ripped out his heart.
In order to remedy that and free Galactus, Drax ripped the Surfer out of his containment unit, and The Silver Surfer activated the energy array Thanos was going to use, freeing Galactus.

It has been stated around the place that Captain America (Rogers) is a master of all (or many) forms of martial arts.
However unlike Batman he didn't train since childhood - his background as an American born in 1917, growing up in NY, and being a physically weak 4F means that he definitely didn't learn anything prior to becoming Cap.
He had less than three and a half years of WWII activity between creation and being frozen, most of which seemed to be with his platoon on the front. At least some of whatever training time he did have must have spent been mastering the shield. And several flashback stories seem to indicate he wasn't as adept at fighting during much of his WWII period as he is now.
Exactly when did he master all these martial arts?

It is only ever refered to as the omega effect when fired form his hands as opposed to his eyes
Also the great volume of energy would suggest it is more powerful
