Acquisition is tracking and locking on. I'm pretty sure it wil involves the number of targets tracked and engaged and all the assorted functions associated with it.
As a single engine light fighter, it's not going to have the same altitude and speed as the Typhoon during engagement. See, engagement doesn't just relate to the type of weapon but also the conditions it can be used in. The Typhoon should provide more speed, G and altitude options that increase the capability of the missile. Plus there's also the WVR weapon, where the ASRAAM/IRS-T comfortably beat the AIM-9X in pretty much any situation. Even the quality of the datalink will matter. The higher FoV will also give it multiple new tactical options over a fixed radar like the one on the Rafale. You are not considering all the aspects of "engagement".
Sure. The expected 50% performance increase goal over the PESA put it in the same category as the Captor-M. It's the actual 100% increase that pushes it into its own league, but they realised that after testing the radar, long after the Swiss evals. And considering the opponent is the ol' Hornet, there should be no problems for either radar to detect, identify and acquire the target. And even with a 50% increase, we can see that the detection, identification and acquistion of the AESA are superior even with only a 50% increase. I'm sure the Captor-E Radar 0/1 will beat the RBE-2AA quite comfortably. But that's not what the Swiss tested. And it's not relevant to the Rafale if the Captor-E does better anyway.
Lol. Will school you in English then.
UK/India, Central = related to national govt.
US, Federal = related to national govt.
US, Central = related to the meaning "main or most important".
So Federal Bureau of Investigation = The "US Govt's" Bureau of Investigation, which separates itself from SBI or state bureau of investigation.

Central Intelligence Agency = Most Important/Headquarters/Hub Intelligence Agency.
There's no "state intelligence agency" or "federated intelligence agency".
Congrats, now you know a little more English, my dear youngling.
