Dwemer are not more intelligent than us, MK's not lore and the 'space ships' don't travel space, Nirn doesn't have space. Their version of space is really just Oblivion in between the different realms or whatever, so those 'space' ships are really just transporting them through Nirn like oblivion gates do. In TES 'space' is the vaccum in Mundus where Nirn and the other planets (which are said to be the physical bodies of the Divines) are located. Outside of Mundus is Aetherius, and adjacent to that is Oblivion. The 'space' we when looking up at the sky isn't Oblivion. And yes, they are more intelligent. As elves they live for hundreds of years, and they have shown their superiority by creating robots powered by steam. That is pretty advanced. Also, they created a God. Don't mess with the Dwemer.

We would use nukes against them, the only reason we don't use nukes is because we don't want to be dstroyed by nukes, Tamriel doesn'thave nukes and no earth nation would help them. As for 'morals' that may apply to the 'human' races, but elves and beast races? No. Even the 'humans' of Tamriel aren't human. We would definitly use everything we had to kill inhuman invaders from another dimension. Depending on where the war takes place the earthlings will likely not use nukes. Because if it was tamriel that invaded Earth then using nukes on Earth would cause way too much collateral damage, they wouldn't risk it unless it was their last stand. Also there are beings, like the Tribunal or the Daedric Princes, that can stop a nuke in mid air. Vivec stopped a moon from crashing onto his city, he can easily stop a nuke.

The thing about vampire soldiers is stupid, none of the armies on Tamriel have vampire soldiers. There are more flamethrowers than vampires, and even the Tamrielians(?) would kill those vampires. Again that depends on who the war is going to be. Is it the Empire vs. Earth? Or is it everything from TES attacking Earth? We need to decided what/who on Tamriel is going to fight Earth, and who on Earth are they going to fight. If they are going to fight all of Earth then it is only fair we have to fight all of Tamriel, maybe all of Nirn or even all of TES. If we fight everything from TES we are screwed, we can't beat gods.

And they could not reverse engineer any of our tech, none of them are smart enough. They don't have anything like it, the closest they get are dwarven machines that use magic to run as tamrielians don't have computers or really anything necessary for them to copy any of our useful tech. They also don't have factories to build the simpler things like guns. Again, the Dwemer can easily make better tech than ours. If they get the chance they can totally reverse engineer our tech. They have the intelligence and the resources to do it. They already have Automaton factories, repurposing them to make earth tech wouldn't be too hard.
