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

absolutely not!


Sorry you are wrong and let me try to explain why. Let's say you've
trimmed nose up, the elevator is deflected up but the trim surface is
deflected down. Where is the chord line of the tail? The chordline
where the trim tab is absent



The trim tab is not absent. It's still there. it's not providing a
vector in the same direction, but it's not doing what you think it's
doing.
