I believe they will be a threat to all species, even snow elves. I think they attacked the chantry for more reasons then it just being a stronghold of surface dwellers. It was a shrine of Auriel the a combination of Akatosh and Anu, Anu being the sun. They attacked the light that had abandoned them to the depths.

On the idea of them using dwemer technology I think it would be difficult for them, or anyone to reproduce and use Dwemer technology to its full potential. Dwemer technlogy was built around sound and aetherius magic that no one on Nirn currently understands.

I think they may be waiting for the Dwemer to return, I believe the Dwemer were removed by a dragonbreak and will eventually rejoin time like Alduin.

I think it may also be important to consider who is backing the Falmer if any. They can see without eyes and communicate without talking. Is this the results of evoloving underground, or possibly the interference of an outside force. Knight Paladin Gelebor mentioned that not only living underground would force an evolution of the Falmer's soul. Is it possible something replaced Auriel, something dark.

And by the way PsijicThief the book you were referencing may be The Falmer: A Study, which talks of the war of the crag.
