Well, his reaction to Instant Kill made it obvious that, if nothing else, he seems genuinely terrified of seriously hurting/killing anyone.
But yeah, wouldn't surprise me if he subconsciously holds back.
Consider the ATM robbery. Notice the goons kept getting back up, despite him hitting them fairly hard it seems. What if he'd hit them as hard as he hit Ant-Man(because he knew it was okay to give a little extra against someone 30 feet tall). Or what if he'd thought Vulture was a robot and didn't hold back?

Her shockwave definitely caused an EMP. Those were lightbulbs in the background, and they didn't pop. They just winked out. And all the power went out at the same time.It might have been unintentional, but it looks like a pulse wave to me.
And what's more, it really highlights how far above them she is. I mean it took her, what, 15 seconds or so to stomp all 5 of them?

Did he ever actually hit them directly though? From what I can recall, it was more webbing, and like swinging their fists into each other and such? During the ferry fight scene, he even apologised to the one thug when he swung them into the one railing too hard, so he was clearly making a conscious effort not to seriously hurt anyone.
But yeah, imagine if he had to kick a normal human as hard as he kicked Giant Man. He would have splattered them.

She beat them like naughty stepchildren. I'm not sure if it was because she was already the Green Ranger(if that was even her Ranger form), or because her species is just that strong.
And he did hit one of them. He flipped over and kicked him into the glass. It was a light tap though, but it still sent him flying and cracked safety glass. He wasn't KO'd though until the other one used the gravity gan to launch Spidey into him.

Maybe he was a Hell's Kitchen thug from Daredevil. Those guys get smashed through solid doors, clocked in the head with microwaves, flung down stairwells etc. and get up for more within seconds. 😄
But seriously though, I do feel that the movie made it clear that Spidey was seriously holding back when fighting people. As I mentioned previously, when he flung the one guy into the railing on the ferry (hard enough to bend the rail somewhat IIRC), he actually apologised to the guy for throwing him too hard.
