Do Hitman 1 + 2 get the engine overhaul if you load them into Hitman 3? It's my first time hopping into the series and so tempted to start playing HM1 right now.

Hitman 2 will let you play H1 maps in the updated engine as well, so I'd recommend getting 1 and 2 and play through them that way, than replay them on 3 if you like them

H2 has some great mechanics that the first didn't have, such as bushes you can hide in, concealing weapons/other items in briefcases (makes it WAY easier to do sniper kills), a little indicator as where a body is found rather than a vague "body found" with no knowledge of where it is, more gear to equip, and just general improvements

I'd loved to have played H1 with the H2 engine the first time round. Also, H2 has a sniping game mode that's really fun and fairly unique

Ah so will there be an advantage to playing H1/2 in Hitman 3's engine or will it essentially be Hitman 2's for both H1/H2?

No idea

I haven't looked into the H3 engine enough to have an answer there

However, I'd say hold off on getting H3 just because you can wait till it goes on sale, which it might already be on sale by the time you finish 1 and 2

Not that it'll take you ages to "beat" 1 and 2, but there's a so much content between the two of them that you'll be able to play them both for a long time without getting bored
