I just can't believe Cazador (well, his minions) getting away with disappearing that many people every year without being caught. Baldur's Gate isn't that big, it's not NYC. It'd be very risky, even if you're just targeting people you think no one will miss (which they definitely don't do - the Gur miss their kids quite a bit!). It seems like a shockingly big number for the sake of being a Shockingly Big Number. Also, IIRC Astarion says he was one of Cazador's first spawn, and describes a victim taken ~170 years ago as one of his own first. That points to a much lower starting rate which slowly ramped up over the years as more "employees" showed up and everyone got better at their "jobs".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, Cazador has social influence he can use to avoid getting into too much trouble. Also Baldur's Gate might not be the biggest city, but I'm pretty sure it gets plenty of visitors from other areas, some of which can be conviniently snatched before they have a chance to make themselves known. Their first stop would probably be a tavern anyway. I definitely do agree with you when it comes to numbers, though.
You can kill them without ascending him - did you see that option?
Maybe, it happened a while back. That option is kind of... way too cruel, I think? The alternative is very stupid, but I don't want to be responsible for the deaths of 7k+ people XDDD
