So if a Elven Rogue with Sharpshooter, Elven accuracy dipping into fighter for the Archery Fighting Style overkill?

If you've taken Sharpshooter, you should probably be dipping Fighter or Ranger levels anyway to get Extra Attack, so sure, grab Archery fighting style. Sharpshooter on a pure Rogue build is already pretty sub-optimal, though.
"Dip" is meant somewhat ironically; Sharpshooter is really only good for classes that get more than one attack. Elven Accuracy does boost hit rate enough that even a Rogue does gain some benefit from using it in situations of moderate accuracy (hit on a 8+, roughly), though, so I guess it does have utility if the Rogue has already maxed out Dex.5 levels could hardly be called a "dip".
But if you are a rogue with Elven accuracy and Sharpshooter(8th level), level of fighter might be just right to make that one attack per round lands most of the time.
My 1st 5E character was a rogue with sharpshooter and at 5th level I took one level of fighter.
Wanted to play a Ranger, but took one look at the class and said; Ranger? Rogue with Outlander background and 1 level of fighter will have to do.
Doesn't work. Action surge provide an additional action not turn and SA is once per turn.It's nice when you don't have advantage but hopefully you get advantage quite a bit and if you are then the difference is pretty negligible.
The more impressive scenario would be to get action surge and attack and ready an attack with action surge and get 2 sneak attacks on your first turn.
