The Custom Search API (CSAPI) is indeed the successor for the Web Search (AJAX) API. As you have noticed, the two are not exactly analogous. But if you do the initial setup of your CSE with a domain or two in that box, you can later go into the settings, remove the domains, and tell it to search the entire web. Even after you do this, though, you should not expect your results to correspond exactly to those of the AJAX API or a standard Google search.
It should also be noted that, while I don't know what your "testing and analysing" are, the CSAPI's (and actually, the AJAX API's) TOS explicitly prohibit accessing the service via any automated means (e.g., scraping, bots, load testing) to access the API for any purpose.
