Maybe.

She did become Binary during the Infinity event at one point. Can't remember whether that was an isolated incident or the spark of a power boost, though..

I would certainly say The Ultimates is an obligatory reading companion to Civil War II. Not only does it do a thoroughly better job of legitimising Carol's viewpoint, but Thanos is more central to this story. I think of him as a cameo appearance in CW, leading to his true objective in the Triskelion (hence being "defeated" by the heroes to gain access). An issue of the series also explains how Thanos came to be in the universe post-Secret Wars, so yes I recommend it!

As for Hulk, well, who knows what Marvel wants nowadays? Three years ago they were putting the six movie Avengers everywhere, now they've killed the (arguable) most popular one off?

On the figure front, loving the new Logan, Silk and Miles. Easily three of the best figures this year.
