Look,  i'll try and explain this one more time being as clear as possible.

First, its obvious if the Stormcloaks win they and the Empire will have a grudge, because of this in the begining of the war each faction will stay defending its own borders against the Thalmor, Stormcloaks will probably push back the Dominion first (for the reasons i stated in the blog, also Cyrodill is the easiest province to invade because of its terrain and climate). After a ways into the war both factions will have to put their diferences aside and fight together ( or else they will both die, its a fact) With the help of the Nords and possibly other allies the Empire will be able to push back the Dominion out of Cyrodill and together with their new allies invade and defeat the Dominion (much blood will be lost, more than in the 1st war, as victory won't come cheap).

Yes Torygg was said to respect Ulfric, because he was a war hero, but Torygg already knew how Ulfric felt (his political views), all of Skyrim did, it was pretty well known. Torygg would not have supported an independent Skyrim, he is an imperial supporter, that is the whole reason for him being the High King, because he put the interests of the Empire first, Skyrim second. Ulfric wants freedom, he is like a nordic Braveheart, he would never have surrendered to the Empire (because they are puppets of the Thalmor), fighting was his only choice.

The Stormcloaks aren't weak. Also lets stop to think what would have happend if Ulfric was killed in Helgen. He would become a martyr to his cause, many nords would see his execution at Helgen as being dishonorable and proof the Empire isn't the same they used to know. Stormcloaks would keep fighting using Ulfric's death as a rally (just like they use Talos worship). Galmar (as second in command of Ulfric) would probably become the new Jarl of Windhelm, and leader of the stormcloaks (I wouldn't like this, no one could replace Ulfric, he is just to damn charismatic), he is more violent then Ulfric and has less mercy for innocents. The End of the Civil War would be a tough call, but i could say this, it would be long and bloody (just like the Thalmor want it).

I don't know if any of this changed your mind, if it didn't then continued argument would be pointless as it would seem your let on your opinions. Either way:
