As for Tullius' threat: ''"There something I can do for you? Perhaps direct you to the nearest prison..." So yeah he does threaten to throw you into prison.'' That's really a bad argument. That's like saying an Altmer can't use destruction magic because they are more vulnerable to it.

Well, it's not a direct threat, but indirect, he says it in such a way to let you know that you're not supposed to be there. There's a difference from casting something without being in contact with it and touching elf-kryptonite.

That's not a direct threat? He only says that after you mention Helgen...so yeah it's meant for you directly. may i suggest you give a source for Wuuthrad being elf kryptonite? sure, it was used for killing elves in the past, but that was by hacking them to pieces, not because it has some sort of enchantment specifically for killing elves. it would probably be just as effective at killing humans.
