On the elf life thing, it's been said both by lore experts and the game itself that Dunmer live longer than anyone else. I forgot where I found that out in game. But in all honesty, it's the same reason we all join the army. And the Altmer are actually a very tough opponent. I was a khajiit assassin once and I killed off a 3 thalmor patrol but that was because I attacked one thalmor who strayed away, I attacked the other two and weakened them before I ran off then I ambushed them later. And some Altmer haven't reached the age of wisdom yet so we can't assume some of them are 345 years old, some could actually be 26 or 127.
