I think it's obvious that the Emperor did tadpole us, which makes complete sense.

As for Yartar, I'm not sure what you're saying. The Yartar scene happens after the character is tadpoled. Nothing suggests the character was abducted in Yartar.
Depends which character you play as. Karlach and Wyll get on the ship in Avernus, and only then get tadpoled.
