How single estimate accounts for different ability of each team member? E.g. Somebody new joining in will need more time.

Estimates are for the team, not for an individual.

As the team grows and shrinks, the number of points delivered per sprint are expected to similarly rise and fall. A new person joining will likely take time to ramp up the number of points they're contributing.
