I'm not much of a body guy but isn't some glue available for that? Or fiberglass maybe?

If the skirts wrap around into the fender holes, drill some holes on the ends and put in some small screws (so you have at least something mechanical holding it up and then attach the rest to the car with some 3M double sided automotive foam tape. That way it'll pretty much be done up in the stock style with no holes in the rocker panel.

I hope you have some wide tires because sideskirts on narrow tires don't look particularly well. My car currently has 6.5 inch wide wheels which prevents me from skirting my car for I feel the wheels would get lost in the change.

It depends on what skirts you get. If you go with the generic "drift" skirts that are like 6" at the bottom, then I agree. You could try to pick up some stock TII skirts though.
