- How likely is a 100 point character going to beat a 50pt monster/opponent? 75pt? 90pt? (all other things being equal).
- What sort of point differential between the characters and their opponents is best to walk that line between challenging and sure death?
- Do multiple opponents add linearly? E.g. will a 100pt character defeat three 30pt monsters?

Disclaimer: This is from 3e experience.
The answers to pretty much all of your questions is "highly variable." It all depends less on overall point total than skilll levels with the weapons to be used, damage of the weapons to be used, DR of the armor worn and HT of the combatants.
Oh, I'll add that three 30 point opponents are more dangerous than one 90 point opponent (in general).
