No it does not. Thanos has his own means of increasing his personal power. He can tap the mystical, and the cosmic. When he fought his doppelganger, we see his ability to amplify himself on his own. When he fought the Surfer, Norrin simply didn't possess the amount of power to do any damage to Thanos, but this does not mean that Thanos is immune to the power cosmic. For example Galactus would be able to do significant damage to Thanos as we saw on panel. Thanos was not somehow feeding off of Galactus' power.
Yeah, cosmic energy =/= Power Cosmic. The Power Cosmic is a force specifically derived from Galactus and his unique position. Cosmic energy is simply ambient cosmic radiation which can be drawn on for fuel. For example, Havok and Living Monolith are also powered by cosmic energy but have no connection to the Power Cosmic.

I don't see why it wouldn't. I've never seen implied in comics that Thanos has unlimited supply of energies at his disposal. Having another energy source to purloined from is always advantageous and would make him more than he was.
