1. Only Elves could reach Aman.
2. If men went to the undying lands then they would die very quickly. They would wither like a moth in a great light, or something like that as oneElf put it. Aman is not for mortals. Men, seeing how they die even faster then the plants and beasts, which were specially created as to obey the longeveal life of Elves and Ainur and they would become jealous of them, like the Numenoreans, but to a greater extent, and they would become evil, tainting Aman.
On the Valar helping Frodo and co. I think Ulmo had a part in helping Frodo and Sam finding water in Mordor. He never abandoned M-E. Ulmo is my favourite Vala.
