below decks in ships were notoriously dark

indeed, get boarded by someone without darkvision/good light source? just retreat below decks and slaughter them

Probably a bad idea. If I was leading a boarding party, and all the defender's retreated below decks, I'd consider it a victory. Take down the sails, pin the rudder, then park my ship outside of their cannons' firing arc. Then just wait. Maybe have my crew bring over buckets of shit, vomit, or whatever other vile substances we could find, and dump them down the grates. If I got real desperate, I could just board up the doors and set the ship on fire. Sure, I'll miss out on most of the treasure, but those dwarves will probably burn to death before the boat totally sinks.

Depends on your goal. If you just want to sink the ship, boarding is unnecessary. If you want to loot it, you have to go below at some point.
