Ok the Nords, were first of all claiming sky rim as there ancestral home when it was already claimed by the snow elves (and dwarves to an extent) this is, however you look at it peaceful or other wise, an invasion in to another countries soverenty. Hence the snow elves had every right to do what they did to protect there country. Plus ysgramore came back before atmora was becoming uninhabitable so there was really no reason for him to leave, yes there was a civil war in atmora, but aren't the nords a warrior race? If ysgramor haven't left we have no idea if the war could have ended with him commanding the victorious army.

In the legion in sky rim there is an imperial legate that is an altmer, this is incredible unlikely, but he is still there and he would probably would have been fighting his brethren in the Great War, so you cannot say for certain how many bosmer fought for the dominion, but you can say they fought, as this is more likely then an almer legate.

It says that the MAIN dominion army cyrodill was destroyed, which would have undoubtedly been stationed in the imperial city, but there would have been other garrison, and troops in cyrodill at the time.

It is called the imperial legion because it is commanded by the emperor not because it is composed of just imperials, just like the roman legion was still called the imperial legion, because it was commanded by the imperial empire.
