It does not empower Congress to determine any aspect of how court proceeding will be conducted.

They create the law under which the rules of procedure are derived. They can rewrite the laws any way they wish.

No, they create the law only. They do not have any power to alter rules of procedure. That's exclusively a court power. The only way to change that is by Constitutional amendment. An act of Congress is not enough. Changes to rules of procedure can only be done by Constitutional amendment.
