Peter and Sylar essentially have the same ability only it works in different ways. Peter can absorb powers simply by touch, Sylars ability to take powers is more a knock on effect of he's ability to "understand how things work" hence he's ability to fix watches that he need to take appart to understand.
This is why he has to kill most of the people he steals powers from, because much like watches he has to take them appart to understand how they do what they do, so he need to see their brains in most cases.
I can't remember who ted is so I can't help you with that.
