Eleemental Sightis a sensory magic. So he uses his senses.

Tatsuya is the same but can also actually clearly 'see' the alternate dimension and view and read the raw eidos data itself, along with activation sequences and magic sequences raw data and the interactions between them.

OK, not contrary but differently, it is known that he uses his ES unconsciously, it's just not as efficient as when he enters in Link Space. So, Tatsuya's default vision is better than the others.

This is also incorrect since we've seem magicians other than Tatsuya target precise parts of objects as well, the important thing is that they must be able to see or sense their target. There is nothing in the novel that indicates ES is required for other magicians when doing precise targeting. If other magicians wanted to do long distance targeting, without using a sensory type magic or a spirit medium, when their sight is blocked or their equipment is not enough for them simply use their vision, then yes, that person would need an ES skill like Tatsuya's.

True.

To say he doesn`t need ES for decomposition, we don't know because since ES is active in some form all the time we haven`t seen him use decomposition without it.
Also ES can be expanded to the point of entering link space by using his conscious mind but that form of ES he doesn`t use for combat seems more like an information gathering tool  |
Just a minor correction. His eye is only focused on Miyuki when he wants to use it consciously, he has the ability to track her wherever she is but he doesn't do this at school. He is not keeping his eye on her everytime at school, he would be detected otherwise. LS makes him able to gather information but it is also useful in a fight, he was forced to use it briefly to sense attacks in Monolith Code.
