I would assume that makes it even worse at high elevations. There's more oxygen down low on the ground because the air molecules are closer together, but not high up because some of the oxygen that would normally be up there is compacted down. I don't know that for sure, but it seems like a safe assumption. If there's more air in one place, that means there's less air somewhere else.

Sort of? Lower pressure up high means less air and less oxygen per breath. The way you explained it is a little weird though.
