1 - Since the Great War and the Civil War, Skyrim had no time to heal from its wounds, to recover health, on the contrary. The situation presented by the NPC, is catastrophic, the trade in Skyrim died, today, years after the great war. A country economically diminished, will be reduced in war.
Skyrim is not really impoverished, it is just being leached of resources by the empire. They control the heavy mining areas and are sending tax revenue to Cyrodiil. They also control the richest agricultural lands.
And Ulfric and its stormcloak showed that they were not prepared to wait. They want to fight Thalmors as soon as possible after the Empire, and their hatred of the Elves is beyond the rational state. Besides, it's funny, when the stormcloak npcs meet the thalmor, they always fight against them ( and they always lose... ) . The war between them is already there, in their country.
That's not really true. Ulfric knows they need time to prepare. He wanted to be able to do so without Thalmor running around Skyrim. After a Stormcloak victory, he says his first concern is that the Thalmor will attack before they're ready. Obviously the expulsion of Thalmor agents from Skyrim will be first priority. This should be anyway!
The Thalmor could not know everything. So far I have not seen a single Thalmor infiltrated in a major city, at a hight political post, or in the Imperial Legion, or otherwise. I didn't see yet something that could explain me that they know the secrets of the Empire. They are like outside of a fortress, to turn around in the garden, under observation, trying to seek what are the thoughts of their ennemy, and how they could take advantage during this peace.
They're lurking around all the Imperial holds, at least the big ones like Markarth and Solitude.
That's why they try to weaken the empire and Skyrim, they try to disunite the two allies in a conflict between them because the Empire united is still considered as a threat.
An independent Skyrim under Ulfric is also a threat, as the dossier on Ulfric says.
