Malthus's idea was that our food production grows at a linear rate, while our population grows logistally. More people are being born than can be fed. Thus this leads competition for survival. Darwin observed that this is true for all organisms. More offsprings are born than can be sustained, thus leading to differential survival of organisms, thus natural selection.
Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.
Natural selection is one of the 'guiding' principles of evolution.
The term that is often incorrectly used to describe evolution by natural selection is "survival of the fittest."
Basically, random mutation and natural selection. With a little genetic drift and gene flow thrown into the mix. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
The theory of evolution by natural selection simply summed up. The nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms.
By science
Thomas Malthus' work originated around population statistics and how they are affected by different factors. His work was instrumental for Darwin and Wallace's proposal of natural selection. Just to add, no he did not propose a theory of evolution.
Darwin was the first scientist to have the courage to put forward the theory of natural selection.
He applied it by figuring out that some species died because they overpopulated and didn't have enough resources to sustain life.
Thomas Malthus' essay on the tragedy of the commons is thought to be a significant precursor to Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

Adaptive change is the province of natural selection and natural selection is one of the main drivers of evolution. Natural selection selects from the individuals variations in a population of organisms on, basically, reproductive success and this adaption is passed on to progeny which changes the allele frequency in the population which is evolution.
