[MCU] what are the limits and capabilities of Ebony Maw’s powers?

He sliced a car in half. Why not slice a character in half? Why not use his telekinesis to snap someone’s neck or rip their insides out?

Line-of-sight, requires concentration, possibly limited range, and the fact that it's almost certainly more difficult to manipulate a moving, resisting thing than an inanimate one. Pretty standard limitations of telekinesis, in other words.

He almost never uses his powers directly on a living being. He throws objects at them to attack, or wraps objects around them to bind them. He either can't manipulate them directly or finds it too difficult to do so.

At one point, he turns a bunch of rocks into needle bullets and flings them at his opponents. When the attack is redirected back at him, instead of stopping them with his powers he picks up a car to block them -- not even fully successfully, as one of them actually hit him. It was apparently easier and faster than trying to stop all of them individually.
