Does too much Output current or Input voltage cause the watts to measure too high in a 3-phase circuit?

Amps (current) X Voltage = Watts

What do you mean by too high watts? A device will draw the amps it needs and consume the power it needs.

By the way, 3 phase power = volts times amps times 1.73.
