Just my thoughts on the first point... I believe the main reason the Teleri did not hand over the boats is akin to the reason that some people will not forsake their homeland to invaders. Many people do not just give up their possesions even in the face off overwhelming hardship and so forth.

And as for the ruining of the perfectness by Feanor, could some lines be drawn between that and the whole snake and apple thing in the garden of eden?
