Does the elevator lift force and stall angle reflect trim setting at

absolutely not!

the trim setting is what sets the neutral position of the control
surface. ie the position where the least or no stick force is required
to maintain the amount of lift required from the surface for stable
flight.

this may surprise you but an elevator is never stalled in flight.
