Then last week (yesterday's) episode when he was about to face the sun, he said (paraphrasing) "at my age it [the sun] won't take long [to kill him]." Any ideas? Are vampires immortal or do they just have an extended life cycle (2000+ years)?

Probably immortal. In the Anne Rice novels, the reeeally old vampires barely fed at all which is kind of like True Blood. Another parallel is when Eric healed Lafayette he mentioned the strength of his thousand-year-old blood. Unlike the Anne Rice novels though, old vampires in True Blood light on fire real quick-like (and remember Bill spent quite a bit of time in the sun) whereas Anne Rice's were almost resistant. Her old vamps could also fly.
