Third....complying with a subpoena isn't an 'existential question'...its the law.
When do they start arresting people who ignore these subpoenas? Or are we now entering into a "post-law" era?
Only post-law for some - definitely not for all.

Why didn't Bran see the ships laying in wait in the cove?

He did - he just didn't give a shit as he needed a second dragon dead.

I mean, he executed Hodor and damned Hodor to a lifetime of being simple prior to that. All means to an end. The end being Bran winning. Bran is savage.
