Old Cap is another version of him. Real Cap is in the MIA in the timeline somewhere.

No, old Captain America is the guy that went back in time. He's the Captain America we've been following. Also, it appears he's dead, according to the beginning of Spider-Man 2.

The one at the beginning of FFH is the one left in the time vortex. That's the one that's "dead" per se. The Russos explain it here:

This brings us to Fox 5 DC’s new interview with the Russos, where the Steve Rogers question inevitably came up. The Russos stuck to their original explanation that Captain America created an alternate universe when he went back in time to see Peggy, but offered a bit more insight into the matter.

“The way that it would work is that when Captain America goes back, he would create a branch reality,” Joe explained. “Now he would exist in that branch reality with a second Captain America who was frozen in ice.”

“Peggy understood that he was dead at that point in the storytelling because Cap went back to a point in time where nobody knew he still was alive, frozen in ice,” Anthony added.

More interestingly, Joe also explained how Cap would return to the future of the main timeline using Pym particles: “Now what’s also a story for another time is, of course, if he created a branch reality, he would then have to use a Pym Particle to come back to this reality to hand that shield off,” he said. That’s definitely an interesting idea, one that could very well see Marvel bring Chris Evans back for more Captain America adventures.

You are misreading that. They clearly explain that he went back in time, creating an alternate timeline, lived out a life with Peggy, then returned to his original timeline, at which point he passed the shield on to Sam. Presumably, he died shortly thereafter. In that alternate timeline, a Captain America is still frozen in ice, but the Captain America we have been watching in all the films is the one who came back as an old man at the end of Endgame.

Can’t wait to see a number of these characters again. All the upcoming MCU films and shows sound insane!

And I thought the excitement I felt for Endgame couldn’t be “replicated” anytime soon, but all the variety, different directions+storylines, and basically new characters we’re going to get from new MCU properties is staggering. BLADE!
