As he is this super powerful Dragonborn like me, but he underestimates me at every damn turn. Making him seem like nothing more then a bully.

If I was called by The Divines to hunt and kill Alduin. Why does he act like I'm nothing, if yet he knows that I was called by the Gods themselves to slay a powerful beast?

His he truely arrogant? Or is he scared of me? He is Arrogant. not until the actual battle is he a bit scared.

Though to be honest, he could have easily killed Alduin. I have to disagree with you on that. In order to kill Alduin, you need the Dragonrend shout. And clearly Miraak doesn't have that. So no, Miraak could not have killed Alduin. What makes you think he doesn't? Hakon and the others were the only ones who knew it in that time. By then, Miraak was in Apocrypha. They only used it once and that was when they were fighting Alduin and now that they died, there is no way to learn it besides using an Elder Scroll which is how the Dragonborn learned it. Miraak was in Apocrypha so he didn't have an Elder Scroll. He's in the realm of all knowledge. He doesn't need an Elder Scroll. Dragonrend was created only by those three people. Miraak wasn't there when they defeated Alduin. Hermaeus Mora only taught him one shout and that was Bend Will, which was created by Herma-Mora.
