Elrond said so explicitly right before he gave Aragorn the newly-reforged Anduril. "Arwen is dying. She will not long survive the evil that now spreads from Mordor. As Sauron's power grows, her strength wanes. Arwen's life is now tied to the fate of the Ring." Can't put it much clearer than that.

I agree about the camaraderie between the elves and men, but they still did nothing to turn the tide of the battle at all. Even with the elves' help, Helm's Deep still fell. They should have accomplished more, otherwise their presence is kinda pointless outside of a fleeting hope.

It was a bit strange seeing all those elves fall and perish, yet seeing all those old men and young lads survive! Not only pointless it's also how a mystery they got there in time in the timeset implied in the film- they would have never gotten there in time from Rivendell- which is where its implied they marched from. To make the whole sequence even stupider is the fact the elf at the head is actually from Lothlorien!
