Why else would they need all the crazy things they did, if not to be the baddest dudes on the block? Lots of "Oh, you're doing this now? That's cute. We have x, y, and z that outdo you in everything still."
Regarding the miqo ancestors that came from there, they were likely nomadic clans like some are now, with the few actual settlements. They came across into the north to likely get away from the frost, and maybe even the dragons, depending on how their relationship was.
It was always said that Allag tried to conquer the entire planet but never did, only able to get about 3/4ths of it even after conquering Meracydia. They were beginning to have problems with rebellion and internal strife even before they nuked themselves.
In my headcanon, if you have a nation that has mastered magic and technology to near omnipotent levels, then anyone that could stand up to them probably had their own bag of tricks as well. The possibilities are endless, which is why I wanna know more lol. Allag's demise wasn't just internal. Guerilla warfare by lesser nations? Or was nations like Meracydia also advanced? I say this because if Allag only fought dragons, then well... Ishgard could stand up against dragons, so IMO Allag would have no problem handling them.
Entirely plausable that the Miqo'te were just spectators to all this and suffered indirectly, which finally caused them to have a mass exodus eventually. If you look at the Cathedral in Azys Lla, it looks like a Seeker Temple. The giant spear through the top uhh...
Probably led to not so good things for the Miqo'te in that ancient war...
