I like to think that Iroh was once captured by waterbenders, and while tied up, he watched them train/use waterbending, leading to him developing the Redirect Lightning technique. Learning this, in combination with his spiritual personality, i like to think that led him down to seek out the dragons, and learn more about balance.

Ozai is the most powerful firebender in the series as confirmed by the creators(this includes Iroh,Azulon,Sozin,end of series Azula&Zuko),he has more 1v1 experience by always participating in Agni Kais (while Iroh has more army experience) and is ruthless and will not hesitate to kill unlike Iroh. Ozai is also younger and physically better,Irohs only shot would be to redirect lightning at him and its possible he wouldnt try firing lightning at Iroh like he did with Zuko and Aang Ozai is also a master manipulator and even if he was weaker he would use Irohs emotions and their childhood memories against him,Ozai is also acedemically smarter.
