Firstly, i'd like to know if i'm right about this. あいちゃん
Is "Ai" like a feminine name/abbreviation of aiko.?
Also is "Chan" a form of mockery or teasing when attached as a suffix to a guys name in japanese.

Secondly, am i right with this trans below

・・・もう少しお前をいただく
i need some bit of you.

I can't figure out the rest. I will greatly appreciate if anyone can trans them.

ぐわっ！
わっ！
す・・・すごい！
まるで桁（ケタ）が違う・・・・・・！
これが先人たちの戦いのレベルなのか・・・！
確かに俺達が行っても邪魔になるだけかもしれん・・・・・・

lastly, what does this kanjis mean? are they pseudo kanjis or do they actually have any meaning?

Ai could be a a short-form, but Ai is also a woman's name on its own.

Chan is meant for little kids, and women up to a certain age, so you can patronize a guy by saying it with their name.

It's late here, so I'll let someone else jump in for the translations

I think you are right about the mockery for number 1.

BTW someone will need to confirm what i've said below.

2)
もう少しお前をいただく - I'll keep you company for a bit.

3)

Wahh!
A-Amazing!
It's like they're on a different playground ( I don't know the context but I think this means 桁 a beam, or level of magnitude. But im going to base it on the next sentence)
This is the level at which at ancestors fought at!
Surely, Even if we wen't we would just get in the way ( Saying that they are useless compared to whoever is doing what, I;m guessing fighting)

"I will have a little more of you".
いただく is nominally a humble term, but in plain form like that it's not a request or a wish, it's a statement 'I will receive' or even 'I will take', and often not actually humble at all.

Glurk!
Wow!
A.... Amazing!
That's on a completely different level! ('another order of magnitude')
This must be the fighting level of the predecessors then!
It sure seems that we'd only be in the way even if we went...

The picture looks like real kanji with a big katakana ン splashed across it (from a katakana sound effect in the rest of the panel I suppose).
Maybe
龍焦
茶十鳥
It doesn't make any words or conventional names. I'm not very confident about the last character being 鳥 but it's may best guess.

It totally depends on the context. "Chan" can be used among very close friends, e.g., childhood friends call each other as the same way when they were children.

Contray to nahadef's statement, "Chan" can be used as a term of endearment or amongst friends no matter the age of the person.
