1) Excluding the holistic part, this theory is not so different from that of Ollerus, which is unconfirmed and unlikely to be correct as it is limited to magicians, even though gemstones appeared before and were the base on which magic was created. Anyway, IB can't be created by holism and not only because IB is not scientifical. The Baggage City experiment was meant to demonstrate it was possible to create holistic espers, but if IB was a holistic power, the experiment wouldn't have been planned at all, and in NT 4 Othinus exploited IB only to determine the creation of holistic effects through their negation. Moreover, IB is the reference point of the world that negates supernatural distortions and it can't be explained by the Aeon of Osiris. Ancient magic must have been of the Aeon of Osiris or below, so for something belonging to that aeon to create something outside of it should be impossible and the same goes for the reference point of the world being created by a distortion of the world.

2) The power of the world is said in the novel to return to the world on its own if destroyed using the metaphor of falling leaves returning to the soil. And the powers negated by Touma so far would be just snacks for the world as IB never negated something powerful enough to sustain a planet, which I suppose should be an amount of energy at least equal to that of the Earth's core. Also, IB is the reference point of the world so it means that its purpose, or at least one of them, is the removal of any supernatural elements, supposedly returning the world the that state of Pure World. This means that after the last supernatural source's negation nothing would remain to feed the planet's life force, which could even last for aeons but will run out in the end. More importantly, replenishing the Earth's powers would be meaningless as it will die swallowed by the Sun when this will expand. If powers negated by IB feed something, it's safer to assume it's the IT.
