Forgive me I has opened wormy can! ; ;
As for the definition of Sultanate, I believe Coatleque has the right of it. At least, that's always how I had seen "Sultanate." Basically, the realm controlled by Ul'dah's sultan(a).
As for the other stuff. Nanamo Ul Namo is only 21 years old at the start of ARR. Meaning she can't have been Sultana for more than 10 years. At least not without a Regent, of which I've never seen any mention of. So, that means if your character has been in Ul'dah since 1567~ish give or take, then you have experienced Ul'dahn rule under the former Sultan, Sasabaru.
As for the laws by which the Sultana, the Syndicate, and all of the Sultanate are bound, they were drafted and created by Priors of the Arrzaneth Ossuary(THM Guild). Up until the Calamity, the Order of Nald'thal was led by the High Priest Mumuepo. (Who was later banished by Nanamo to live out his days in Halatali.) It was heavily suggested in 1.0 that Mumuepo took bribes from the Syndicate. Considering the Director of the Milvaneth Sacrarium, Dewlala, remains on the Syndicate to this day speaks volumes to how easily one may sway laws and politics with enough gil.
As for the founder... the Brotherhood of the Sultansworn was formed by three Paladins led by one Jhal Tristam the True, between 600 and 800 years ago. Three legendary swords were crafted for the three founders. The Curtana belonging to Tristam. The other two swords and Paladins are never named to the best of my knowledge. However, pulling from the real life legends of Charlemagne, in which Tristam, a Knight of the Round Table, also possessed a sword named Curtana. The sword also "coincidentally" belonged to a set of three, the other two being Joyeuse and Durendal. (Both popular, reoccurring swords in the FF franchise.)
I believe this also still includes Teledji Adeledji, as he is an Ul prince. Good luck balancing that can of worms in a few patches. =x

Like I'm sure most Sultansworn know who the founder of the Sultansworn is, and how long ago that was... but how many would be able to name the Sultan in charge before Nanamo? If your character has been a Sultansworn for at least a decade, that's pertinent to you. Likewise, not many people know who writes the laws by which the Sultanate is bound.
