I wanted to help Gerud in Riverwood who asked me to warn the Jarl of Whiterun about the dragon attack, so when I get there I warn him and he immediately sends me off to get the dragonstone.
So I go on kicking ass until I get to the last guy who is in a tomb in front of the first dragon word of power. Thing is that he also has dragon power and kills me in an instant. After I saw that the first dragon encounter is before that (so I can get a dragon soul and activate my first word of power having the chance of killing the bastard) I get back to Whiterun to see if I can still access the first dragon encounter but I'm failing miserably. Can someone help me with this?

If I remember correctly, the first encounter where you have to kill a dragon is after that quest where you need to get the dragon stone from Bleak Falls Barrow. The jarl wanted you to get it in order to prove that you are worthy of their trust or something, right?
If you cant defeat that "boss" draugr in the tomb at all (even with preparation such as potions), all you can do is leave the quest alone and do some other quests / kill things to level up a bit and come back later when you're stronger.
