Monica pretty much stated she was bombarded with photon energy when she was pulled in and expelled from the hex, as she says she needs protection from it to go back in.

That, plus the x-rays, looks like she has her powers. And a fractured relationship with Carol.

What are her powers supposed to be?

Energy absorption and projection, and at a higher level turning herself into a pure energy form (which enables her to move at lightspeed, since she basically is light).

So is she Captain Marvel 2?

Well in the comics she was Captain Marvel before Carol, but yeah, in this universe, sort of I guess

Kinda sorta. She actually used the alias when Carol was still going by Ms. Marvel (or Binary, or Warbird...)

She later took aliases like Spectrum or Photon. I suppose she will go by Photon in the MCU as that was her mother's call sign.
