When they first saw him, did they know they were fighting time displacement Thanos and not the Thanos they killed?

their Thanos doesn't have a head so...

No
Most of the heroes were in limbo for 5 years, they didnt know about anything.

Strange knew it would happen though, and he explain the situation to everyone

I don't think they cared at the moment

He just blew up the Avengers compound and had a giant spaceship hovering above them

It doesn't really matter what year he's from

They didn't really care too much, they just knew that Thanos is back and is gonna fuck shit up. Didn't help that past Thanos didn't really allude to how he arrived, just what he's gonna do 'this time' around.

Imagine if that was the actual Thanos from their timeline

How fucked would that be

Their Thanos wouldn't have been like that since he was no longer a warmongering tyrant, getting the infinity stones and using them for so long and for so many things changed his character and outlook. This Thanos was before he even started to lose anything of real value you have to remember. He didn't lose his daughters' loyalty, didn't have to kill one of them for the soul stone and torture the other one really badly, or witness how all the avengers fought him tooth and nail in a losing battle and see their own losses for himself. He didn't even realize his goal and make it to the end where it wasn't actually all that cracked up to be like he thought it'd be.
If IW Thanos came back most likely he'd be more like the classic Adam Warlock comics version where he actually accepts he was wrong in the end and exiles himself to the farm for his crimes. I kinda wish they didn't kill him actually, have him sense EG Thanos arrive and they talk it out, then that's where IW Thanos gets decapitated by EG Thanos being disgusted by what he'd become if he continued his original plan any further (and this is where he changes goals to snapping the entire universe). Help continue that great character development we saw in Thanos that really drove Infinity War.

It was pretty dumb to make thanos an antihero with a goal for greater good instead of a dude who just wanted to impress a girl. That's pretty much the only quip I have with IW.

Endgame was just outright bad.
