These are good questions that I don't have the answer for but I'm sort of wondering the same thing. I've been wondering about the Male Miqo'te thing for a while (though honestly, I'm not playing one as of yet so I have to admit I don't really care.) and I've been thinking the Ul'dah thing over.
My character is from Ul'dah, and disappeared when Dalamud fell. It was easy for him to run away because of the chaos. I never expected that Ul'dah itself was being destroyed, but I always assumed the danger was close and real enough so that there would be hysteria in the streets and make it easy for him to slip out of town unnoticed. If someone could clear up the exact impact the event had on Ul'dah, it would really help me get my story straight.
