MK3 isn't a factor here, this is new timeline Shao Kahn. (and we'd still need to see more context on how Shao Kah acted in all the old timeline games, which I partyl don't remember and partly don't know)
Not necessarily, we don't know if Shao can use soul hax in that way, we never saw him doing it and stealing souls is what Shang does better (and always).
Besides, Shang always needs to either defeat, incapacitate or restrain the opponent before performing actual soul stealing (instead of just copying the "essence").
Shang tsung despite of being weaker than Shao knows a lot of stuff, more intelligent and as we know in Mk 11 aftermath:
He is very underestimated by everyone on the verse, seriously several characters several times said to him something like: "Shut up, you're just Sorcerer!"
