The high-end Mage spells (the spells learned through HLAs) will only become open to you when you are able to cast 9th-level spells. This is a little protective measure, so that you don't choose, say, Improved Alacrity, and then get mad at the game because you can't cast it.

Use Any Item is almost true. You will still be unable to use items that require a certain stat (Requires: 16 STR) if your stats aren't up to par. You are also barred from most equipment designed for a specific NPC (e.g., Valygar's katana). And while Thieves with UAI can indeed swing the Carsomyr, that does NOT mean they will be able to put proficiency points into 2-Handed Swords.
