1) Well you said "unite" Tamriel, I didn't know you meant an alliance. That would be possible, yes. Though an alliance isn't unity, it just means you're working together.

Example: Russia is 83 united provinces. China and Russia are allies. Partners, but seperate.

2) But the Empire hasn't done anything to offend High Rock as it did Skyrim, they have no cause to seceed or work against the Empire. As to trade, that's IF the Stormcloaks win, and if they do the Bretons can still trade via the Abecean Sea as they've done for centuries. It'll be really inconvenient, but feasible.
