What are you storing in the query list? Which properties do you need to compare? Be sure to create a variable for each propert you need to compare and store it in a variable. Then you can use run if or set a condition to compare your variables to your current item properties.

I'm quite not sure what exactly is your problem...

if you are able to write a CAML query you should be able to make as many conditions in CAML where clause as fields you need to compare, shouldn't you?

if your workflow is list workflow and you want to compare current item values you can use 'Item properties' references.

if your workflow is site workflow, or you want to compare value of different item then workflow is currently running on, you have to first read in all the value to compare into workflow variables and then use variables in CAML query
