Will tires become harder to balance when they have a lot of miles on them?

Balancing used tires is done the same way as new tires. It is no more difficult, no less effective. There is a new kind of wheel balancer, the Hunter GSP 9700, which is distinctly better than all others. See http://www.gsp9700.com/ Try to find a shop which uses this machine.

I was wondering if the tire starts to lose its shape if the tired starts to get into the high miles area. I don't know, maybe I am getting to deep into this thought.

This could happen if the tire has an internal defect such as tread ply separation. It could happen if you have a bad strut which causes abnormal tire wear called cupping.
Yes.

You can try to true them. That is to have them shaved to make them closer to round. Just a thought.
