Negative there. 90's Magus's persona is based on Warlock's memories of his evil future self. The Magus was how Warlock envisioned his dark side, so the Magus his dark side became. However, 90's Magus was not an actual incarnation of the (far more dangerous and powerful) 70's Magus.
Something that hasn't ben picked up, is that while 616 was saved from a Magus empire by Warlock's suicide, there are still timelines in existence where the Magus did come to be. Maxxam was sent back in time to kill Adam to keep him from becoming the Magus in the future. This is also why the LT ruled Adam unfit to wield the Gauntlet. The thought of a future Whole-Warlock-Magus wielding the power was too terrible to even allow the possibility.
I have wondered before wether the 90's Magus failed to recognize the fake Reality Gem because he was himself not entirely real, as was shown when he couldn't interact with the true souls in Soulworld.

Thanos let his opposition plan and come at him and let them get organized. Thanos defeated Eternity also.
Thanos had to work a lot harder against the various space-gods than Adam did.

In fairness, Warlock wasn't really expecting his super-hero army or the space-god brigade to win. He hoped he might get lucky, but all of those were just canon-fodder to keep Thanos thrashing about until he power-tripped himself into a mistake. He said more or less that on-panel.

I can prove you wrong on that. No scanner, but right from the pages of infinity war #2, when they ask the infinity well about the Magus:
Infinity Well: *Talks about irrelevant stuff*
"With your aid, Warlock was able to destroy the timeline from whose loins the magus sprang. And the base evil that had been the magus faded from existence, only to be remembered by a select few."
*Talks about other irrelevant stuff, and how Magus and Goddess were expelled from Adam's being.*
Now here's the important part:
"But the darkness that is the Magus would not easily die. From what I have been able to piece together, apparently the Magus reincorporated near the crossroads leading to several strange actualities. Realities that i'm not certain existed before his ressurection."
What does this tell us? It tells us that the original Magus was reborn within the new Magus. They share the same consciousness, and it's referred to as a ressurection. They are in fact the same mind, only the new Magus is in a weaker body.

We arent talking about "Who did more with the IG", its a Who'd win thread, in which I'll refer you back to my comment about Dr. Doom and Kang beat the living crap out of both Magus and Warlock. If they jumped Thanos he'd give them a Hulk/Drax backhand.
Doesn't really matter. With the IG, all three of their power levels would be equal.
