Unrelated but in the example "Elle est descendue à la cave chercher une bouteille de vin." Why wasn't "pour chercher" used rather than just "chercher"? Is there a difference in meaning?

Verb forms in the examples.

Hi. Elsa eats and I buy.. Shouldn't you rather use the progressive form in the translations, Elsa is eating and I am buying, as the simple present denotes habitual or repeated actions, as if Elsa were eating them every day and I buying new sheets daily ?

Use of "à" again to mean "with"

Can someone explain the use of "à" in these two sentences:

Elle se trouva confrontée aux limites de l'époque (why is it used to mean "with" in this sentence?)

Mais cette femme à la forte personnalité (also meaning with?)
