Does leveling up in Skyrim make it harder?

That depends. Leveling up in Skyrim works when one of your perks also levelled up. As you increases your difficulty, the enemies will have higher durability (HP and defense). This means you need to swing your axes more, shot more arrows, cast more spells and so forth in order to bring them down.

What level should I play Skyrim?

It doesn't matter. Most enemies scale with your level, so you can pretty much rush through the main quest without doing anything else if you want. Skyrim doesn't really have an end, but I assume you meant the main quest. But I'd say any level above level 20 is about right.
