I remember asking my dad how far a league was when I first read the book, and then repeatedly questioning whether that could be right in the context of the writing.

Is the unit ‘one league’ used in LOTR (esp in elvish) the same as in our universe. Just asking as nobody here questions the units.

Yes. The books are all carefully translated from elvish and would have accounted for unit conversions.
