Britain overcame Napoleons Continental System, this forced other less powerful states to choose sides over France or Britain and a few swayed sides towards Britain. Britain actually thrived during this time and most of Europe took a financial hit because of the laws. Britain was also a part of all of the coalitions that fought France and weakened their army enough to the point where they defeated Napoleon and exiled him. When Napoleon returned from his exile he was defeated by the coalitions again in Waterloo where he was finally exiled to St. Helena and eventually died of cancer. This all shows that not only did Britain have a role in defeating Napoleon but they were one of the main reasons he was defeated.
Defeating Napoleon in 1814 did not have any retroactive effect on the war of 1812. The largest connection that the War of 1812 has with the Napoleonic wars is that it diverted British troops from the wars against Napoleon. This meant that Britain had fewer resources to use against Napoleon and so did not fight at it's fullest potential against Napoleon at that time.
The biggest advantage was their weapons and armor.
The first "fight against Britain" of Napoleon took place in the year 1793 at the siege of Toulon.
The British won the battle of Trafalgar thanks to the innovative tactic of fighting, which allowed the British men of war to break through the long battle line of the allied French and Spanish fleets, splitting them into two part and defeating them piecemeal. A pivotal role was also played by the employment of the "carronades", a type of gun particularly destructive at short distances of which only the British ships were equipped with.
No, defeating Napoleon was an end point.

The greatest danger to Napoleon's empire was the indomitable will of Great Britain to carry on the war against him, irrespective of sacrifices, defeats and costs. The british were indefatigable in organizing and financing riots and coalitions aimed to weaken the empire by all means, taking advantage of Napoleon's mistakes.
Napoleon is a fictional character in the book, Animal Farm. He uses the sheep to his advantage to drown out others with the sheep's bleating.
