What is the P3 and P1 for in the G02/3 lines on your old control, I don't think Mach3 will like them for a start.

It would be better to fix the lost steps problem as lost steps are still lost in absolute mode.

You seem to be missing the K from the line.

Mach3 will not do 3D arcs, turn off helical/spirals in the post processor and try again.

Don't forget to cancel with G52 X0 at the end of the code section. There are lots of examples on here of how to use the command.

Use G52 instead it is a local shift and will offset as you expect, G92 is to be used instead of G54

You need to swap the ij mode in mach3 config

If you select MDI screen and type this in and press enter do you get movement?

I have seen this with g-code that uses R instead of I & J it is to do with the 180 degree rule and the shortest path.  Could be something totally new as well
