As for the Elementals, the easiest way is have 3 of your fighter types (I used Jaheria, Minsc, and my char) beat up the elementals. I forget if there are 9 or 10 of them that will come out. You can not destroy the portal as it is used later as part of a quest. As are the earth and fire portals. Sorry no water portal.
As long as you stay close to the wall when going to the elementals, you should be able to avoid fighting drow at the same time.
Good Luck
