One thought:
No. There are MANY differences between the religious ideas of the Essenes (believed to be the Qumran group) and early Christians. The Essenes' were known for their seclusion from society, belief in fate and their emphasis on celibacy and mystical ideas about angels. Jesus' teachings were markedly different, as he was actively involved with people, preaching and teaching, open and giving, and known for his warmth and love .(Matthew 5:14-16; John 11:23, 24; Colossians 2:18; 1 Timothy 4:1-3).
Answer2;
Yes Jesus was an Essene and was the Teacher of Rightousness.
Jesus was born in 100 BCE and died in 67 BCE. The Essenses appear to be "Christians", because they are followers of Jesus !
Jesus and the Essenes, were the majority of Jews, not a small 'sect". Jesus as the Teacher of Righteousness and the leader of Judaism was opposing the "Lay organization" Pharisees and their influence on the Jerusalem Temple.
The essenes are the anti-Pharisee, anti-oral Torah, anti-lunar calendar Jews.
The Essenes are not mentioned in the New Testament. There is no evidence that either Jesus or John the Baptist every had any relation with them. Jesus would have strongly opposed their understanding of the law.
ANSWER2:
Jesus is referred to as the Teacher of Righteousness by the Essenes of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Jesus is referred to as Jesus ha Netzer or Jesus ben Panther by the Pharisees in the Talmud Sanhedrin (107b, 43a), Mishnah and Toldeth Jesus.
The Essenes likely wrote the New Testament (New Covenant) and they are mentioned in their name , the Way in Act 24:14,22,etc and Nazarenes., Children of the Light, etc.
Essenes are not mentioned in the New Testament. We know of them through Josephus, Philo, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. There is no evidence that either Jesus or John the baptist had any relation with them. Jesus would have strongly opposed their rigid understanding of the Law.

In Jesus's time who were the Jewish cult called the Essences?
Essenes are not mentioned in the New Testament. We know of them from Josephus, Philo and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Apparently, the people of the Scrolls were closely related to the Essenes. Essenes may have begun about the same time as the Pharisees and Sadducees. They were an ascetic group, many of whom lived in the desert region of Qumran, near the Dead Sea. They took vows of celibacy and perpetuated their community by adopting male children. Some did marry. When one joined the Essenes, he gave all his possessions to the community. A three year period of probation was required before full membership was granted. The Essenes devoted themselves to the study of the law. They went beyond the Pharisees in their rigid understanding of it. There is no evidence that either Jesus or John the Baptist ever had any relation to Qumran. Jesus would have strongly opposed their understanding of the law. The vast majority of the people were not members of any of these parties, although they would have been most influenced by the Pharisees.

Life of a Essenes at the time of Christ?
An Essene was a member of a religious community back in the time of Jesus. The Essenes were a small cult that had branched off from Judaism; its members believed the world would soon end. In preparation, they separated themselves from secular life and went off to focus on spiritual purity. They abstained from sex, and spent their time studying the religious texts. Many historians believe the Essenes wrote at least some of what came to be called the Dead Sea Scrolls.
