First off, does this apply to all Men, or just Numenoreans?

I suppose it would. According what is said in Morgoth's Ring.

Secondly, and (I think) more interestingly, we notice that many of the elves were not well-suited to live in Aman either.. that they revolted as well. Is there a connection here, by any chance? Are the Children of Iluvatar simply ill-suited for Aman on the whole? Is the desire for immortality on the part of Men simply one manifestation of this?......hmm.

An excellent question of course.
But you have to remember that when Feanaro revolted in Aman, there was the presence of Melkor that tainted Aman. Would they have revolted otherwise, i don't think so.
Men i think would ultimately envy the elves and Valar. Wouldn't you, if all of your neighboors and friends were inmortal and had inmortal joy.
