Now, about Dwemer betraying Falmer, I know that that what it seems to be like. But imagine a little more light hearted aproach to that. What if Dwemer though that they were helping Falmer. I mean Falmer used to live in bright environment and then they had to change it to the darkness of the undrground. Perhaps  Dwemer were concerned about Falmer eye sensitivity, that darkness of the underground would hurt their eyes...so they decided to help them become blind and more adapted to the life of the underground. As far as the whole slavery goes, it could be similar to Dunmer thinking that Argonians need hard labor, when they plucked them out of th "muck" of Blackmarsh. By the way, Dwemer and Dunmer (Chimer) were preaty closely related, perhaps a similar thinking? In anycase, to adopt Falmer even more to the life underground, they though they need to be put to hard labor. From this point of view, Dwemer were helping Falmer, but that might not necessary be true.

The Nedes were in Tamriel before Atmorans, and for all we know may have even originated there, and the Bretons are both Nede-mer and Atmoran-Mer, though they never actually entered Skyrim before the Atmorans, as they were first discovered by Nords in High Rock.

That could be a possibility, but if that is the case they shouldn't have forced it upon them.
