Nedes and Nords are culturally and physically similar so that might explain Ysgrammor being there. Another reason why a non-Nord might be able to enter Sovngarde is that "they posess the heart of a true Nord" as this is used to justify non-Nords becoming the Harbinger of the Companions, so the same principle might apply. When it comes to multiple deities having a claim on a person's soul it seems that one might be able to steal the soul from another deity; then again the Dragonborn did defeat Alduin a stop Nirn and the rest of his universe from reseting as the Redguards imply, so he could just screw Nocturnal, Hircine, or any other deity out of their claim on him.
