Ok so let's speculate what is true info and what is speculation 
True:
the man killed IS the vicount and falcons are emblem of his house
the sign on his cape is a simbol of Kirkwall
the qunari is a highranking officer
the staff is a melee and magical weapon
Hawke uses bloodmagic
The woman is a Rivaini
False:
Most of the falshback
the monster is a Strider and not a darkpawn
the army are templars and not GW
the new Flemeth look is not a new host
I don't know about it being a qunari invasion. If it's an invasion why is the officer on his own and wouldn't qunari have to make their way across other Thedas countries before they could threaten the Free marches? I'm more inclined to think this particular qunari is off on his own pursuing his own goals (which may or may not be related to Qunari main goals)
I think you're right on all of that but the invasion. As I was talking about to my friend just a few weeks after Dragon Age Awakening, without the darkspawn, there isn't much to threaten life as we know it. Your logic maintains that an officer would need his army behind him. Lets consider several things.
A. We can assume they're in the capital, after all the Viscount and his throne are there.
B. We have no idea if the rest of the capital has an epic battle going on.
C. Hawke just shows up knowing a guy is going to assassinate the Viscount(not in time, conveniently or inconveniently for Hawke)? I think its more likely he's trying to get rid of the commander of the enemy force and Hawke was already participating in the larger battle going around.
D. Qunari officer. Some of information, such as names and meanings of symbols, must be accurate. Why would one randomly speculate about the Viscount's name or rankings related to army color and symbols? A Qunari officer would not be outside Qunari lands without a major invasion going on. They send Stens to do the dirty work of living among humans, elves, and dwarves(let's see who remembers where "Sten" gets his "name" from).
E. The officer is clearly competent enough to kill all the guards and the king without apparent injury or effort. There's no purpose to such a thing unless they were at war.
F. Exiled/outcast Qunari don't have horns.
G. What catapults people to positions of power more quickly than anything else? War.
My most important point is point C, but the rest help support it.
Maybe you're right, but the qunari invasion plotline just doesn't seem right to me. It's just a feeling I have more that anything else.It doesn't make sense the game would revolve around 2 very different major conflicts: mages vs. templars AND a qunari invasion.
Kirkwall is very far away from the qunari, if Bioware wanted to make a game about the qunari invasion why not set it in Tevinter.The qunari in the video could be an individual with his own agenda. At some point he was a qunari officer but he could be doing his own thing now and doesn't consider himself to be one of the outcasts so he didn't cut his horns. The killing of the viscount is just part of this particular qunari's plan. He's a qunari version of Saren.
Oh I don't know, think about Dragon Age Origins, you would think the whole of Ferelden would be united and fight the Blight and the darkspawn threat, but instead of that most of them where running around fighting each other in a civil war.
Dragon Age 2 could be doing something simaliar, the main storyline apprently being about the Chantery (I'm guessing from Varric and Cassandra) and Templars vs Mages, with an underlying storyline of the Qunari invasion which is what Sten pretty much hinted towards in DAO (after all the reason why he was in Ferelden was to get information and Ferelden is futher away from the Qunari then the Free Marshes), and besides like someone else pointed out just because we see one Qunari fighting here doesn't mean there isn't a load more fighting in other parts of city.
