Will Nader's candidacy this year be like Perot's outcome in 1996?  I'm saying Nader got alot of votes in 2000 like Perot got alot in 1992 but by Perot's second run (1996) he did worse.

That will happen. Nader may poll 900,000 votes, but that's fairly generous.

Did Perot do worse in 96 because the Republicans blamed him for their loss in 92?

No, it was mostly due to former Perot supporters seeing what an egotist and loose cannon he was. His wild actions in 1992 scared many away from hm.

It was mostly because Perot was old news. This guy made a big impact in '92, but in '96 no one cared about him anymore. His infomercials in '92 got very high ratings by infomercial standards, but in '96 they often ended up literally the single lowest rated program on TV.

Also the fact that he dropped out and reentered again.  I remember thinking that bizzare.
