I love Weyoun so much, or rather I kind of love to hate him? He just keeps coming back, like a weed! And he knows how much he annoys the goody two shoes Alpha Quadrant types, it's great.
I'd have to do a rewatch to evaluate what you say about why the show sets us up to hate the Vorta. From what I remember it seemed more like the fact that they don't make an effort to rebel against the Founders, but instead accept their place in the system, but your impressions don't seem off either, at least initially. Thinking about it now, I think we also should evaluate Starfleet's reaction to Bashir in light of the fact that the Federation is at war with a polity that explicitly uses genetic engineering to create and maintain its totalitarian social structure. (Side note: I wish we'd seen more of life in the Gamma Quadrant.)
I think the entire "off the station" plot takes about eight or nine months or so, if I remember what I read in the novelizations correctly.
