[Avatar] Does the Avatar asautomatically have greater potential as a Bender in a particular element than a native Bender of that element?

For the most part, yeah.

Fully realized Avatars can, at their peak, reshape the planet around them. That being said, the power of each Avatar in their base form is up to them--if they train enough they'd probably be the strongest bender of an element, but that doesn'T mean they will be ABSOLUTELY the strongest. Individual benders might be more skilled as well--some of the masters we see far outstrip Korra and Aang in bending skill due to a long life of single element mastery.

Avatar state? Yeah, def. Each new avatar is the strongest--the combined power and knowledge of their previous lives stack into god mode.
