The character would not necessarily end up in a prison on the Somerset Isles. They could be being held in a Thalmor facility such as the Thalmor Embassy,  on Tamriel,  (hopefully somewhere new like Valenwood). It would much more difficult to set the escape and early game in the Summerset Isles as there would be very few potential allies there and it would be very difficult for the character to recruit any as there is no lore about the Thalmor keeping large numbers of non-Altmer servents or slaves.

The only way we see the character  starting the game by escaping from captivity in the Summerset Isles would require them slipping away from the Isles back to Tamriel to gain allies and build strength for an invasion. Oooor with the help of Sheograth. The madman could talk a Thalmor guard into releasing such prisoner just to watch the fun unfold within the Aisles.

I wouldn't think uncle Sheo should be "the Daedra" of TES VI (In Morrowind it was Azura,in Oblivion uncle Sheo/Jyggalag and in Skyrim Hermaeus Mora). But I have to admit, your explanation makes sense. Still, the last two (Oblivion/Skyrim) became "the daedras" because of a DLC, and even the Azura stuff, on Morrowind, was expanded by a DLC.
