Alien life would still have to be based on the same chemical and physical laws as terrestrial life, so while I'm sure it would be challenging to understand it shouldn't be an intractable problem. In the end, it's all just chemical reactions.

If the fittest die as well everything's dead, so no more life.

Not sure what you mean by evolution being slower without intelligence. I'd expect the opposite. Intelligence means you can adapt to your environment behaviourally and technologically, instead of biologically so natural selection becomes less of a factor.
