Thanos has the Power Stone & the Space Stone in this shot. He doesn't need all the infinity stones to kill a superhuman being. What he could do with the power stone is probably disintegrate Cap with one thought, or use the Space Stone to teleport the dude to anywhere that he wants.

It ain't a matter of strength in this case, it's a matter of power. But I've seen the trailer, and based on the lighting and mis-en-scene of the shot, right after this scene is that 2-second shot we got of Winter Soldier interviening. So yeah, he was able to hold off against Thanos on his own. The guy has had 2-3 years to work out, with the addition of Erskine's formula still kicking in his system, so he would make a match for Thanos. But it does not mean that Thanos has less power over him.

Btw, we're not supposed to call him Cap anymore. He's Nomad now.
