The Pure Horse Tribe was already in Prax since 620, the Battle of Necklace Horse. 740 marks the Battle of the Third Wing and the final expulsion of the Praxians. Note the presence of the Battle Banner of the EWF. It accompanies the Second Dragon who only took the field "when other armies had been defeated three times" KoS p189. So the Praxians have won three significant battles between Necklace Horse and the Battle of the Third Wing.

No, it is not. The Pure Horse Tribe lived in Prax quite comfortably for a while and changed sides in 780 to form an alliance with the God Learners to plunder the Cradles. This causes Waha to appear and with the aid of the Giants, Waha thrashes the God Learners and ousts the Pure Horse Tribe circa 800. Waha then kicks major ass in Prax, including the sacking of Adari in 809. Pavis fled this sacking to Dragon Pass and returned to found Pavis in 830 ST.

This refers to the captives caught in battle. The women, children, herds and crippled warriors fled to Dragon Pass rather than be slaves.

Dorasor lived well after Joraz did. If you meant Pavis, then Joraz never made a deal with Pavis to retake the city that bore his name. When he did retake it, he was King of Pavis in Exile and the Zebra tribe had been founded before this, ie after Pavis had made a deal with Waha.

There were no Zebra riders before Joraz.
"The species was small and incapable of carrying normal- sized riders. The pygmy humans all rode impalas and other minor survivors, like the bolo lizards. The Zebra drew no protectors in the lottery of survival during the darkness ages, relegating them to minor status". P&BR p61>Grazers to Argrath at his wedding.
