As for the assassin question, Heroes have a form of "resistance" to assassination attacks. The percentage is reduced by half the Hero's level. So a level 50 Hero would reduce an assassination attempt against him by 25. This means a 35% chance to assassinate this Hero would in fact by only 10%.

Further more, assassination attacks don't  actually   kill the unit outright - it deals 1000 damage. This is usualy enough to kill any unit outright, but a really high level Hero with a lot of HP, exceeding 1000, can indeed survive a successful assassination hit.
