It's also quite plausable that he simply was not a priority; that to a certain extent he was thrown in prison and forgotten about. Hell, if he lasts for many a month, it's possible that the major folks had believed he'd been executed ages ago and 'they'd simply missed the memo' on it.
No. There is no way he would have known.

Retelling of the events by all parties had Ulfric beeline for the exit of the city while everyone was in shock at what happened. Nobody challenged him on the way out, so Roggvir did his duty by letting a Jarl leave the city since he was not ordered to hold him.

It had nothing to do with Roggvir's allegiance, or the legitimacy of the duel. He was doing his job.

I still think the whole thing could be seen as an authoritarian move by Tulius. Finding a scapegoat the people could denounce publicly.

Maybe even check who sympathized with him so he could ID the Stormcloak sympathizers.
