He even knows a bit about the circumstances that caused its destruction. I honestly doubt that he'll be a huge character for this expansion. He's connected to an old plotline that hasn't come up in a long time, and this is supposed to be a big progression of the Zodiark/Hydelyn arc. Also, the figure Thancred is holding appears to be a girl (although her appearance is purposely obscured.) It's probably the same figure as in this image.
I noticed that too. However considering that Elidibus will likely be playing a large role in the next patch if not the new expansion, the connection is not far fetched. I'm going by the dialogue for that arc but Ukukalhai was a potential warrior of light because of his Echo but was too young to do anything about the destruction of that world. Considering Solus and Gaius are both mainly from 1.0/2.0 you really can't dismiss anyone at this point. And Ukukalhai calls Elidibus his Master (I'll have to watch the cutscenes again but I'm fairly certain his master ends up being Elidibus as the final reveal). Just saying. Yeah its unlikely but certainly not that much of a stretch, even if its not him in the trailer (and its probably not--the voice was very feminine too i think).

Also as for Yugiri dying, she took a bad fall during her failed assassination attempt on Zenos. I wouldn't necessarily give that credence to her demise. Or anyones demise the way things are going.
