How do you even find out what they do or what diseases you have other than people telling you you're sick?

I think they scale the same as your weapons and armour...as in, they'll sell better the higher you get in level. I rushed my way to the college and they basically just have a better supply of your level's spells (they sell all the non-DPS single shot spells, which seem like a rarity outside the college).
As for killing enemies...without enemy with wards, most of them melt to dual casting Flame. I've got a couple perks in improving basic destruction damage, both dual cast perks, and +25% fire damage. Most enemies will get within a few feet and collapse. If magika runs out in a decent grouping of enemies with bulky stats, back pedaling and throwing a little fire on them will generally finish them off. Aside from some bosses (like Dragons early game), they'll die before you die...and if that fails, you've got a few potions to fall on for added spellcasting or health regeneration.
If that doesn't work, a combination of stealth and casting two seperate projectile spells (as oppose to casting one projectile spell with both hands) will help pick off a crowd...thought it's rarely needed.
It also helps if you take the 1st perk in Restoration to make healing way easier on your magika bar. I find any other realm of magic is pretty useless in the realm of a fight, as any summoned creature takes friendly fire (which is real amusing when I'm in a team fight...I keep accidentally killing allies) and eats up too much magika, while alteration's bonuses help more a magic knight more than a mage. Plus, you get no sneak bonus for magic so Illusion is also pretty meaningless
