A big enough number of orcs could give the Númenoreans "a lot of trouble" but I don't see why a decent number of Númenoreans wouldn't be able to overcome trolls or even dragons (or some really heroic or lucky individuals hitting the right spots - like Bard managed to kill Smaug much later
).
Whether they could have matched with Balrogs I think is a bit harder to ascertain as I think it comes to the "mind-bussiness" of which we seem to know somewhat little about. The Great Elves of old stood their ground against Balrogs, the Dwarves did, Gandalf did (even if it always meant death to them as well)... but the Númenorians? My gut feeling would be yes, they could have stood against them, but well, that's speculation.
