If i'm not mistaken touma's ability isn't based on his mental capacity it's just a unknown power that supercedes magic and esp. Nor does he have the ability to borrow other peoples powers unless that's something new in the recent volumes.

Both Misaka and Accelerator were able to use their powers as children to certain extent. Not all people have sleeping abilities.
The experiments the Academy City does on them exist to improve their abilities, which often ends in level up. Those experiment usually improve their mental capacity (for example, Accelerator's brain is powerful enough to remember all those lines of code (Last Order's code) the moment he sees them).
Since Touma is born with an ability, he is an esper, not a magician. Magicians are people who are not born with abilities. Esper powers are not not created by science, they are improved by it.
So, if the ability scanner had detected his ability, he might have gone through more experiments and could have been higher then level 0 and his powers might have been greater then just negation with his right hand.
