How did Sauron survive the fall of numenor?
The One Ring could not be destroyed simply by “drowning” it; hence, Sauron would have been aware of it on his “dead” body and thus able to take it up out of the sea. But somewhere in that transformation Sauron was able to escape (as a spirit) and return to Middle-earth, carrying the One Ring with him.

Who were the original inhabitants of Númenor?
The original population of Númenor also included some Drúedain, called Woses in the Third Age. (Ghân-buri-Ghân in LotR was one of the Woses.) The Drúedain living in Númenor started to emigrate from the island around the reign of Tar-Aldarion and were all gone by the time of the Downfall. The people of Númenor were long lived.
How powerful is the Numenorean Army compared to Sauron?
The real answer isn’t size of the Numenorean army or their equipment or huge fleet. It’s that it is Numenoreans. They are a very powerful people, and far superior to any orc or troll Sauron could muster. Taller, stronger, and more noble than any middle-man, or non-Numenorean human. Tolkein is a horse breeder.

Numenor was a fertile island, of roughly 435,000 sq kM. How many people could live there then? I have found a very detailed estimate landing them at around a staggering 12 million on the island.

How tall were the ancient Númenóreans?
Adult males were normally around 6′4″ or so (2 rangar in Númenórean linear measure), but some individuals were taller. Elendil the Tall was supposedly 2–1/2 rangar, or 7′11″ tall. Númenor was a prosperous realm with advanced health care, so I assume that most Númenóreans were well grown and healthy.
