Please keep in mind i am going to be playing this till 50 then re-rolling after i learn mechanics of the game to a healer and it will end up just leveling all the crafts to keep my main with lots of bag space.

That's your out right there. Up until L50, and quite frankly for most of Silver and Gold, you can make any combo work and be successful. It is only when you get to Trials or PvP that you may have some issues getting the results you want. Until then, while you might have a bit more difficulty with some things, and you may not be able to solo all the world bosses, your going to succeed with the combo your starting with.

Now, one thing to keep in mind, to make a Bow powerful, you need Stamina, which makes for a weak Caster. So, that will be your main issue that your going to have to get around.

Me, I switched out the bow on my Sorcerer and now she runs two Inferno Staffs, DPS Bar and Sorcerer Bar. This gives me the ranged attacks that work best for her.

I think making a Stamina Sorcerer with a bow is perfectly viable. We lack the stamina morphs for lots of our abilities, but you can make good use of the ones we have.

You will want to focus on your support class abilities to make the most of them. This would be critical surge (self heal from crits and 20% weapon damage) and Bound Armaments (increase heavy attach damage +maxstamina).

Outside of those two you could consider a couple of different options, but all of these are more magicka intensive so would need to be used sparingly. Ensnare as you said keeps enemies at bay which is useful, but you could probably only hit it twice before you are out of magicka without dedicating points to upping your max. Similarly, Bolt escape (or bolt of lightning) is another way to keep your distance while stunning enemies, but again more than once or twice in a row and you'll be OOM.

These abilities work to their max effect regardless of max magicka so you don't need to worry about having a high spell damage or magicka pool for them to be effective abilities. Most of them would also go on a second bar while you keep your main stamina abilities as primary.

Outside of your class skills, you'd probably want to get your fighters guild level up to access more stamina abilities outside of your weapon skills.

You may consider the Dark Deal morph of Dark Pact to give you a stamina regen ability if you find stamina to be a problem.

As for being a Khajiit: There's nothing wrong with them, but if you're min-maxing a Redguard or Imperial would provide better passives for a stamina build. Extra weapon crit is ok, but max stamina and stamina regen are more important. Health regen in combat unless you're tanking (and even then...) is not that useful.
