The "make peace" quest is a temporary truce, which ends upon you completing the main quest. The whole point is just to stop the fighting long enough to deal with the Dragon threat.

Is Paarthurnax a villain?

Paarthurnax was never “pure good” or “pure evil.” He was flawed. No matter who or what anyone is in TES universe; god, man, mer, daedra, aedra, it doesn't matter. Beings of any classification are imperfect and history has proven this in TES universe.

What happens if you finish the civil war before main quest Skyrim?

Finishing the civil war before the main questline will cause you to skip over a pretty interesting quest in the main questline. I'd do main quest first, at least until you finish a quest in the questline called "Season Unending."

If the Stormcloaks win, the Empire is weakened and Skyrim stands alone. The only downside would be that Ulfric would burn down the embassy, thus declaring a war. Skyrim has no reinforcements and can't flee south or north, since Imperials or Bretons would knock their hides back where they belong.
