A fun theory but it sounds to be like you're possibly spotting the inspiration, unable to see the forest for the trees as it were. I too, see the connections your making, but to shoehorn the two mythos into one is completely wrong, no offence intended. The Witcher universe takes a little from everything and spins it into a new mythos, and Gaunter is the epitome of that. He's a little Loki, a little Satan, probably a smidge of Hastur, along with a heaping helping of omnipotence/omniprescence.s

All in all, I wager Gaunter O'Dimm is more akin to Rorschach in The Watchmen. Rorschach was Alan Moore's thought of what a real life Batman would be like, and Gaunter O'Dimm is, in my opinion, CDPR's concept of what an immortal omnipotent being would be like. Human's are beneath him like insects to humans, and as such he plays games with them for his amusement, his only end game is to see what will happen, much like people who stage fights between Rhinoceros Beetles and what-not.
