It seems that the hand-to-hand ability of a Kroot (1R+1w) is less powerful than the Eldar warrior (3w).

Eldar Warriors roll 2W in Hand-to-hand – it's the Exarch (with their Force Sword) that rolls 3W.
And in that yes a Kroot Warrior is not going to be able to cause as much damage as a highly Exarch with a Force Weapon

Also, have them the same ranged power? If I remember well, Kroots use poor rifles if compared to Shuriken catapults.

Yes the primitive Kroot Rifle rolls W2 which is the same as a Shuriken Catapult, but keep in mind that the guns carried by Gretchin (Muskets, Blunderbusses and what are probably Shotguns) also roll 2W as do most 'basic' weapons in Space Crusade ('basic' meaning the 40k/Necromunda weapon category) including the Bolters carried by Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines and Orks



in the spirit of your original questions I feel it's worth mentioning that when working out these rules I was comparing Kroot to other 'monsters' and not to the 'player races'
