Both these points would prevent eldar and humans interbreeding. I doubt it would prevent them from copulating, however.

Yes, the Dark Eldar population does appear to be rising according to the fluff. Where we initially only had Commorragh established in the webway, the more recent fluff in the Eldar codex refers to a multitude of cities. If there are a multitude of cities where there was previously only one, this means the population is rising. Simple. And before anyone claims that there could have been multiple cities all along, there wouldn't have been. How do I know? Because in a Dark Eldar article in an old white dwarf, you had vect telling a story detailing how the Dark Eldar had escaped The Fall, and he refers only to Commorragh being built in the beginning, not multiple cities. Ergo, between the Dark Eldar establishing themselves in the Webway, and current day events in 40K, the Dark Eldar population has exploded.
Just becuase he only makes reference to Commoragh does not mean that it was the only city set up at the time.
Indeed, I imagine what with all the chaos and most of the survivors being only children, there could have been now way that they would reach and agreed 'meeting point' in the webway. So while most of the refugees (I think that's the right word for the survivors) may have conglomerated around and founded Commoragh, I'm sure it would not have been the only place in the webway that the survivors settled down.
