You're able to advance Era in anything as long as it isn't a set scenario from what I know. I.e you can't advance to Era 3 during the Thrawn Campaign. As long as there are Imperial Leaders to kill, Isaard, Thrawn, Palpatine, etc. there are Eras to advance.
As for difficulty, I found the NR hard to start out as, but easier as it goes on. Hunker down on conquered planets and combine into a single fleet that can capture the space above planets. Work slow and steady on certain territories that have few entrances, so that you only have like 2 or 3 ways to get into your undefended systems.
