Superconductivity is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon. And as all quantum mechanical effects it disappears at high temperatures and/or large scale. One of ways to see quantum effects is to lower the temperature (in this case it's only way).

How are boiling point and condensation related?

There is nothing called "condensation point". At least not such thing related to do condensation of gases. But there is a fixed point at a certain pressure, called "boiling point", means, the temperature at which a liquid boils. But condensation does not occur at a fixed temperature like boiling. Think this way, you can see water drops on a cold bottle that occur by condensation of water vapor in the air. For this, just a cold bottle is enough, not a bottle at a certain temperature.
