He's not on Ehlna though, last we saw him he was taken to Shakuras, as his Khaydarin crystal was evacuated there. I highly doubt they'd take him back to a sanctuary that was lightly defended and whose only real defense was that it was secret, something that stopped happening after every faction discovered its location.

Why people thought it was Ulrezaj was the possibility that his crystal was transported somewhere, and that ship was damaged in the End War and made to go adrift, and that terran scavengers would be the perfect bumbling interlopers to accidentally release him. A lot of people thought by the disembodied, spirit-like protoss eyes that it may be him on this ship. But it's looking less likely. Still, it was a very reasonable assumption given what little we know.

Oh the second point, I mostly agree but I don't take Vorazun's comment to mean literally every planet in the sector was devastated, mostly that they were doing very heavy damage and purifying a lot of planets. I agree it is getting farfetched, but given the expanding scale they seem to be doing I could see a kid somehow managing to never encounter a protoss or zerg.
