[Marvel / Captain Marvel] How did Captain Marvel get her powers in the movie?

After watching the movie I wasn't quite sure how did she get her powers? They showed that  blast of an engine core gave her the powers but I don't quite understand what was the core made of that transformed her that way.

I don't completely understand:

1. Assuming that core was utilizing the power of tesseract, the actual tesseract was not present in the engine core. Also, tesseract was a space stone that can open portals or be used to travel across space, How can she get powers to shoot photonic blasts from her hand?
2. Assuming that she got her powers from the teserract, that is still just one infinity stone. How can she be powerful enough to fight thanos who has 6 stones?

1. The Tesseract itself wasn't present in the engine but it did power the engine.  One of the Space Stone's abilities is redistribution of energy, which is pretty much what Carol's power set is.

2. She's not going to solo Thanos.  She's arguably the most powerful hero on the team (Thor and Scarlet Witch are also contenders), but it will take the whole team to defeat him with all six Infinity Stones.
