This is what YVWH means in Hebrew, as well, but the Greek is older because the jews have been deliberately mutilating the Hebrew text for centuries to pretend that Christ isnt the Messiah.

That’s Marcionism, a heresy. Jesus appears several times in the Old Testament as the “Angel of the Lord.” Jesus also quotes the Old Testament, which would be strange to do if it was about a different god.
God is so brutal in the Old Testament because of the immense evil of the peoples opposing the Israelites. (Child sacrifice, phallic/sex worship, etc.)
The *only* thing stopping God from going full OT on us today is the regular sacrifice of the Eucharist. If the Eucharist were to stop, OT God would look *merciful* in comparison to what He would unleash on us for the abominations present today.

The God of the Old Testament is the same as the God of the New Testament. Yahweh is a somewhat recent term so I’m not talking about specific names.
Wouldn’t it be strange for Jesus to quote the Old Testament if it is the religious texts of a false god?
Why does he refer to the law of the Old Testament if it is the law of another god?:
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. “ Matthew 5:17 ESV
