No, the Civil war with Sulla was fought between Sulla and Marius. Marius and Sulla battled for control of Rome, and after Marius' death, Sulla marched on Rome, and proclaimed himself dictator, in which he led a slaughter on the Roman peoples.
Sulla and Marius were military rivals and political opposites. They competed for the glory waiting to be won in the east. At home they engaged in very different political policies. Marius was a populist while Sula was an optimate.
Sulla and Marius were both powerful military and political leaders during the Roman Republic. Sulla served under Marius in the Numidian (or Jugurthine) War. They then went on to become rivals, at one point Sulla marched on Rome causing Marius to flee. They had very different views on what was best for Rome - for example, Sulla increased the power of the Senate, and Marius decreased it.
What Sulla learned from Gaius Marius were military skills. Sulla served under Marius' generalship during his early military career. Sulla later turned against Marius and fought a civil war (Sulla's first civil war, 88-87 BC) against him and one (Sulla's second civil war, 82-81 BC) against Marius' supporters after Marius' death. Sulla was victorious partly due to loyalty of his legions and partly because he was a great general. Sulla's conflicts with Marius were due partly to personal rivalry and partly to political differences. In 88 BC Sulla was given the command for the First Mithridatic War, but Marius fancied commanding the troops in this war and plotted to have this command transferred to himself. Sulla marched on Rome with his troops, secured his command and left for the front of the war. Sulla belonged to the optimates, a conservative political faction which supported tradition and the interests of the aristocracy. Marius belonged to the populares, a political faction which supported reform in favour of the plight of the poor and opposed the optimantes. Marius used the support of the Populares to plot against Sulla and pursued policies which Sulla strongly opposed.
The "path to political power" that was common to both the careers of Marius and Sulla was the military.

Lucius Cornelius Sulla said that he could seem many a Marius in Pompey
88 BCE.
Pompey was Caesar's main rival.
There was not much of an overlap between the two. Pompey was much younger. Young Pompey backed Sulla when Sulla fought second civil war against Gaius Marius' faction, and raised a legion to join Sulla (using his personal wealth). But Marius was already dead by then (although his son, also named Gaius Marius fought on until he was defeated and committed suicide).
