No, sea levels are not constant. Sea level is defined as the average height of the ocean's surface (such as the mean of low and high tide), which changes at various times during the year due to temperature fluctuations, gravity, glacial melt, etc. Also, sea levels have fluctuated historically over the ages. Satellites are now used to measure sea levels.

Why is sea level used to measure the height of a place?

The height of a landform on Earth is DEFINED as its height above sea level since sea level is the closest thing on Earth to a constant or standard starting point. Sea level itself changes with the tides and wind and weather, so we use what is called "mean sea level" which is an average of measured levels at a given place over an extended time.


Is atmospheric pressure at sea level constant 1013?

It isn't constant anywhere, no. 1013.25 mb is simply the average pressure, which is particularly important at sea level because that is how observations are standardized. But atmospheric pressure always varies no matter where you are, as a consequence of having weather.
