Will map editing in Starcraft 2 have less power, the same power, or more power then map editing Starcraft 1 with scmdraft2?
None.

I don't know, but I would be more than surprised if the editor wouldn't have MUCH more power...
Compare with wc3.
We can't judge by the no knowledge we have about starcraft 2 right now. But if you are up to date with the frequent questions & answers that battle.net/Blizzard Entertainment has given us throughout the months or weeks, they've stated that all things from previous map making will be supported such as player 12, etc. I think it will be the same but better because of new terrain blending and possible built in map protection.
None.
A. You are not asking for help with anything.
B. Save this question for when StarCraft 2 is released.
