It scales to some degree, but a lot of the monsters and low-level humans don't scale. Trolls, Spiders, regular Bandits/Forsworn/Draugr, etc. all stay relatively the same. When I was in single-digits, a few Frostbite Spiders would overwhelm me even with a companion, but they've been 1-hit kills for many levels for me.
I enchanted another set of Glass Armor focusing primarily Destruction cost reduction ... 80% cheaper destruction = 24 magicka for 90 damage Incinerate, I have 360 magicka (7 dual-casted Incinerates, Icy Spears, or Thunderbolts), and my armor rating is 260
This morning, I walked through a dungeon by myself (companion got stuck in a grate in the first room of the dungeon) on Expert and leveled everything. Took out a Draugr Deathlord in 2 hits
I really like Eola as a companion; she stays in the back casting Conjuration and Destruction spells, resorts to a bow when she runs out of magicka.
