I'll be honest, I only skimmed this and will read in more detail when I have more time. At the moment I'm out and about with people and can't take a lot of time on the forums today. I would like to say that the first point you made is all a matter of personal perspective. In every game you start out as a prisoner, and the choice of leaders wouldn't be between Tullius and Ulfric. They would "dethrone" Ulfric and put a new Jarl in place of him. Whoever wins (I say it that way because it's all about how you play the game) the war isn't inheirently part of cannon. The main quest is about the Dragonborn and his/her quest to defeat the World Eater, in the next installment the most you'll most likely see about the war is that it was a time of civil unrest. I imagine you won't even read about a true winner - unless it's from a perspective of ech side writing their own books and them being out in the world to read. Chapter six of the Elder Scrolls will not be ultimately affected by the civil war, just in the way that Skyrim wasn't affected the events of Knights of the Nine, Shivering Isles, or any of the other sie-quests and faction events of the game.
