Accuracy does not correlate with elo (estimated or otherwise). It is somewhat easier to have a high accuracy against lower-strength players simply because the best move (or any reasonable move that won't significantly decrease your accuracy) might be just "take the free piece" or "move the piece that was just attacked." Whereas getting a high accuracy score against stronger players is more along the lines of "accurately calculate whether allowing an isolated queen pawn would be a strength or a weakness" or "find the correct 5-move continuation that will net you a small positional advantage."
Also, it is possible to have a 100% accuracy game and lose - just resign on move 1 or 2 while you're still in book. In fact, any game that ends while still in book (or only a couple of moves out of it) could have a high accuracy, even if some bad moves are played.

That's true. If you know an opening at all, you probably will have a fairly high accuracy rating through the first few moves. I lost a game where I had a 92.5 accuracy rating not long ago, but that's because I got unexpected company at my house and had to resign the game after 14 moves. I probably would have lost at least 7-8 points off that rating as the game went on.
Game #1
I played with 88.2% accuracy like a 2000
