Cowl. It is about time he turns up.

Correct. As Jim outlined it, it has nothing to do with time travel, but with how free will affects reality.

I agree, and I hope so.

What you are describing is the same thing technically, from purely physics lens. But I am not going to be pedantic, I assume that it won't necessarily involve Harry actually going all the way back to the Choice that created that Universe. But don't be surprised if more traditional time travel rears its head sooner than expected.

knnn:
If you look carefully at the shirts Harry is wearing throughout the trailer, you'll notice he wears a t-shirt for the first scene and the scene with Ebenezer, but puts on a button-down shirt (during the scene with Marcone) and (presumably) wears it throughout the Talks themselves (e.g. including the scene with Lara).

This matches the first part of OP, since the Cornerhounds chapter (chapter 9 per Priscellie) happens the night before the Talks start.   My personal theory is that the Harry/Ebenezer confrontation happens right before the Cornerhounds appear (Harry stating that someone is trying to sabotage the talks), and their appearance defuses the near-confrontation they have "onscreen" and convinces Ebenezer that Harry might be right.

AClone:
If the two segments are sequential as suggested by the OP, then lots of things are possible.

However, if they are not, if the “Boy, tell me you’re not dumb enough to try this” scene comes somewhere later than the excerpt, then it means that Ebenezar survived the Cornerhounds.

Fifty-fifty, either way. I’m going with the latter.

Personally, I think that Jim is setting up the scene as Eb facing a foe he’s not sure that he can handle, worried about not being able to protect his grandson, Harry—and then Harry deals with the threat himself.

At which point, a flabbergasted Ebenezar turns to Harry and says, bewildered, “How’d you do that, Hoss?”

Because all of the Enemy bad guys seem to know that Harry is Starborn, but none of the good guys.

As far as “Oh, I’m more than dumb enough,” reply, I’m going to take a wild guess that in full, it’s immediately followed by, “...Because Thomas is my brother.”

Because Jim is evil enough to do that, and Priscilla is a good little Sith apprentice.

He also made a comment, WOJ, that major issues like Ebenezar finding out he has another grandson pop up at the worst time. And this certainly seems like a “worst time”.

Oh, I’m also guessing that the “dumb enough” comment is followed in short order by the scene of Harry crawling down what Priscilla (inadvertently, I’m sure) described as a “dumbwaiter” singing the Spider-Man theme.

“Dumb enough”. Dumbwaiter. Because I don’t think that Jim would be capable of resisting a pun like that.
