1) How did Elenwen help? She didn't. How did Ulfric and Tullius? They didn't either. They just stopped fighting temporarily.

2) Why "there were no Argonian or Breton nor Redguard etc ambassadors"? Because there are none in Skyrim at the time. It would have taken too long for one to arrive from, say, Black Marsh. Alduin was there RIGHT NOW.

3) Just Tullius being there was an insult to Ulfric. Ulfric would be offended if Tullius sneezed.

4) Do we see Cyrodiil in Skyrim? No? Then you can't say what the Empire is or isn't doing to prepare for war. Lack of information. And if you refuse to believe Tullius, an Imperial General, about Imperial troop movements, who are you going to believe?

The Empire might very well lose the second war. But they will fight, especially with that coward Titus Mede II gone thanks to the Dark Brotherhood. They are weakened, certainly. But the Empire has always fought, be it the Alessian, Reman, Septim or Mede Empire, when invaded.
