I figured in the end that the humans made the armor (for the most part) and the complex chests. Not to mention that the Falmer obviously aren't stupid, otherwise they wouldn't be so capable nor would they have human servants unless they raised them as their own (in some weird unexplainable way). And if they weren't blind the helmets that they sometimes wear would be kind of silly since those helmets cover their eyes, ya'know?

For the other things, such as the weapon and magicka use, I would say the hightened senses explain most of it, since their smell, touch, and hearing has become so acute over years of being blind that would make it extremely easy to determine where the enemy is located and whether they hit their own or not, I don't think they would care or even realize it, plus, they probably have their own scent so they know who is the intruder and who is kin. That's actually a really good point. It makes sense too, with the human servants and the scent of their fellow falmer. Maybe they do steal babies and raise them to be slaves. But then the question is where do they get them from? I think I found something in-game that suggested that they did take young children and raise them to be servants but I don't remember if it was a line of dialogue or a book or something else.
