They did not suffer from a famine afaik, I may be wrong so a quote would be nice. I believe it was because they didn't have many soldiers, but they did end up taking most of Rohan until I-forgot-who killed Wild in vengeance and Gondor finally was able to aid like you mentioned.

And about them not being great warriors- it makes sense to remember that a well-equipped soldier with iron hauberks and undamaged swords would do better against neanderthals who for the most part wore fur and fought off their opponents with clubs and looted weapons that had been rusted and damaged.
