1. That's not 'harming' someone's overall position, that's harming someone's goal.

Harming their overall position only applies to Ulfric's death at Helgen. Naturally, if Ulfric died right there at Helgen, there would be no rebellion and Stormcloaks and Imps wouldn't be killing each other thus it would "harm their overall position". It's only applicable in that dcontext. They've already achieved their goal by having Ulfric survive Helgen and start the rebellion and solidified their overall position, no matter who wins because both imps and stormcloaks are enemies of the dominion. Yet they both don't desire either of factions to survive and the remaining faction who emerges victorious needs to be able to challenge the Thalmor. The Stormcloaks are still a valid contender in that regard.
