Is that like tennis elbow?
From what I have seen, yes there were. Mostly in that blackened armor though.

Something like these? This isn't an archer, but I have seen these types of knees on archers before, I just don't feel like looking for them right now.

Yes, and you will find them in at least the early 16thC, there are a number of examples in the Madrid Armoury of Charles V c1500.
