Twilight's princess insecurities we thought she was over them

Trade Ya, and The Equesteria games suggest elsewise, and but it might make sense considering Twilight feels out of place at a princess meeting well before Tirek breaks outs. I See it as the framing device for the plot of the episode, but not the meat of it.

also why wouldn't Celestia and Luna reimprison him from the beginning since they did once before?

They are no longer bound to the elements of harmony so they lack the juice to do so, and they might not be able to track him down as easily which is why Discord gets the honor.

Celestia, Luna, and Cadance dying

Not going to happen for one thing, and I don't think Rock Father's silence on the matter is any indication of their fates.
