Answer 1

Firstly:

•yo te quiero, mi amor. = I love you, honey.

•yo quiero a mi amor. = I love my honey (baby, swetheart, etc).

Secondly:

•te amo = I love you.

•te quiero = I want you.

The meanings of amar and querer are similar, but not identical. Amar is more like to love, whereas querer is like to want or to like.

Answer 2

Please use correct spelling, capitalization and punctuation on this forum.

"Yo te quiero a mi amor.": This is not a logical sentence. If it was "(Yo) te quiero mi amor." then it would be "I love you my love."

"Yo quiero a mi amor.": This is even worse. Well, not grammatically, but it means "I love my love."

"Yo te amo." : This is "I love you." but normally in Spanish there is no need for using personal pronouns, of course there are exceptions.

"Te quiero.": Now this is a perfect Spanish sentence. "I love you."
