2. No they couldn't have. They need evidence, and Ulfric was that evidence. Ulfric was their agent and informed them, which is why they suddenly found out about it. They couldn't have used anything to gain entry, for they couldn't communicate with anybody inside of the Empire. Ulfric is responsible. Do you blame water for being on your carpet after your glass fell, or do you blame the kid who pushed over your glass?

Ulfric is not their agent, he is a tool being manipulated into doing what the thalmor want. he didn't communicate the incident to the thalmor, he asked the jarl for official permission to worship talos in the city, and the request was granted. because this action from an official is clearly a violation of the concordat, the thalmor stepped in. the difference with people like heimskr or the people in riften is that they don't have official permission Well I guess now we know that it's the imps who are tools being manipulated, not Ulfric.
