Yes, that's correct.

Yes. In fact, Steve Jackson and I watched the first Munchkin world champion win that way, much to the shock of all but two players (one being the aforementioned winner, the other being the player who tried, and tried and tried to convince the other players to at least do a little something to hinder him or help the Monsters to reduce that gap, even if they couldn't stop him outright, but couldn't seem to explain why it was so important).

so can i be an 8 lvl elf,help someone with a monster and after we make the deal play a go up a level card on me so my mate will be able only to try to losein order to stop me from wining??

You sure can, you munchkin.

Re: elf effect winning the game
 

I want to win with this combo almost as bad as I want to win with a Dark card. Sadly about 99% of Munchkin players won't let any Elf help them in a combat, let alone a Level 8 one. :( Playing an Elf is hard!

Another reason to always hold those cards that end combat instantly very close to your chest. One of my more recent games saw one player denied victory by Deus Ex Machinegun twice in a row (because the cleric decided to use Resurrection to bring that handy little card back into play).
