1. I strongly suggest getting a feel for the game a little before going on with the whole main quest. Wander into a cave or two, see if you can handle what is in there and get a feel for the game. When you walk into a town, don't take on too many quests, two or three at a time and try completing those. When you feel you understand the game a bit, start with the main quest.

2. It will ruin the game, you will feel no reward of getting better at things. When you have low skill, you got to be more careful and you'll learn how things work. When your stealth breaks, when an attack can't be pulled off. When you glitch your skills to 100, you'll never fully understand such mechanics because they occur under different circumstances and you won't truly master the gameplay.

3. You could become a smith with Smithing. Then keep killing bears, wolfs, deers, elks and anything that lets you turn their furs into leather. Then simply craft armours time and time again. It takes a long while, but you'll get 100 skill eventually and you can craft Daedric Armour. Personally, I'd say that using glass or ebony armour suffices when you want to be tough in battle. By the time you can craft either, you can also upgrade them to be very tough.

4. Play the game, have fun, don't use glitches. They prevent you from learning how the game works and it'll quickly become boring and frustrating. Play the game as it is meant to be, you'll be surprised how much it guides you to play it right.
