2.The Crystal tower is likely heavily guarded.

3. Why would the thalmor fall apart because their leader was killed? 1) It's not treachery, it's a surgical strike. Treachery would be giving your word you wouldn't attack, then doing it anyways.

2) Certainly, but I doubt they keep an entire army there. If the Stormcloaks attack there with all their strength, the Tower might be taken before a Dominion army can be mobilised and reinforce the Tower.

3) The Thalmor are only a small minority of Altmer. If the Altmer, Khajiit, and Bosmer which they've been persecuting/ethnically cleansing rise up against them they could be overthrown. If their oppressed subjects have the courage to rise up.
