Wool is very durable - a good weave out of high quality wool can create a piece of fabric that will last a decade or better if cared for properly.

Yes, wool is heat resistant as it stops heat from escaping a test tube or a boiling tube. It could be used for wax and ammonium chloride.

Does wool breakdown?

If by that do you mean is it biodegradable than the answer is yes. But, not all wool is created equal. Some sheep breeds have very fine,soft weak wool. While others have rough, strong wool. The stronger the wool the longer the product made with it will last. As a result sweaters are commonly made with soft weak fibers while rugs are made with the itchy more durable fibers. Heavy use will cause the wool product to break down over time as the fibers break apart.

Which is better merino wool or peruvian highland wool?

It depends on what you're looking for. Merino wool is incredibly soft, and has a nice light hand, but it tends to be fragile. It doesn't always wear well, and is prone to fuzzing and pilling. It's lovely when softness is the main consideration, like for a scarf or baby items. But make an active boy a sweater of it, and the thing will be all pills and holes in no time at all. Peruvian Highland sheep are a cross between Merino (for the softness) and Corriedale (for durability.) You get a wool that is stronger and more durable, without losing too much in softness. It's a good all purpose wool, but not butter-soft like the merino.
