does the nexus one have the same charger/usb port as the g1/ would the g1 charger go into the nexus one?
Nexus = Micro USB
GS = Mini USB
So this won't work

No.
G1 has the enhanced HTC USB based on mini USB.
Nexus One has the micro USB that is becoming a standard. It will be available on more and more things. There are plenty of adapters on ebay ranging from 99 cents US to $15. I bought a couple from a California store for ~$2 US.
I bought a bunch of mico usb cables, wall charger, and a car charger for cheap from monoprice.com

It's interesting how my old microusb cable slow charges the phone.
Are there different microusb cables with different amp charge?

I saw someone mention that there's a pin removed and that's the detection method but I just don't buy it. I am using a standard, off-the-shelf MicroUSB cable plugged into my Nexus7 charger (2a) and it doesn't complain about slow charging at all. I'm not sure if this is anecdotal or not, but I have confirmed that a stock Micro cable + 2a charger will do fast charge.
Guys I broke my local 2amp charger.
Plase sugget a 2amp charger (2.1 will do too I think) and a USB cable (fast) which can handle a little rough handling! Length atleast 1-1.5m
I use Samsung adapter... It's quite durable
For the cable I use a extension cable with the USB cable 2.5 meters

I use the OnePlus charger along with the OnePlus cable, for an alternative, try Rock data cables as the OnePlus cables are pretty pricey.
Both cables included with the 6p are too short for my use cases. I've bought a C to USB 2 cable but I'm having trouble finding USB C cables longer than 6ft. Also I've noticed that there are plenty of issues with cables that are advertised as rated as one thing but really another
I like the one+ cables. I know they are not over 6ft but just a suggestion.....I have a USB extention cable....USB A male to USB A female that I keep in our minivan. It allows any charging cable to stretch across the entire vehicle for long trips when kids/passengers battery is low on any device. They are cheap and worth using if you are using a USB A to USB C....if it's C to C then I'm of no help to you lol
Isn't there a issue with the cable in that it's 2a vs 3a? And yeah primarily concerned with c to c to replace the one packaged with the phone

A cable is a cable, but will be rated to carry a certain amount of power with a certain amount of losses. The longer the run, the more the losses.
Longest I've been able to find are 6.6ft. Cable Matters is one that uses metric and so is a little longer than a 6ft cable. PECHAM C32 [2 Pack] 6.6ft USB 3.1 Type C Cable USB-C to USB-C Male Reversible.
Is there one that supports fast charge for the 6p?
I bought one of these but it doesn't fast charge ....

I don't think you can fast charge a Nexus 6P when connecting it to a computer USB port, if that's what you're trying. Needs to be connected to wall outlet or car cigarette lighter to fast charge.

No this is to plug into the mains at home. This is just the cable. I have a orzly USB C to A cable that fast charges it with my main charger but this cable doesn't fast charge.

You should contact the manufacturer through Amazon and see what they have to say or just return the cable. The description says it's compatible with the 6P but not specifically that its compatible with fast charging on the 6P. It might be worded that way intentionally.
The seller said it's my plug and not the cable but my plug works with an orzly cable

There are many similar discussions around chargers and cables in the Accessories sub-forum. Basically USBA to USBC cables are not supposed to rapid charge because they are supposed max out at 2.4A. If they do rapid charge (5V/3.0A), they lack the proper resistor and so are not compliant with the USBC standard. You can Google Benson Leung to learn more, but head over to the Accessories forum and look/post there. You may also request a Mod to move this post where you may get more answers to your original question.
