No one is here

First, your idea about the Valyrian steel armor is great. I wouldn't be surprised if some version of your idea wasn't correct.

I don't know if Euron ends up on the IT before Aegon, but I wouldn't object. Of course, I'm someone who thinks Aegon is the one who will end up on the IT in the end.

I wouldn't be surprised if greyscale did end up as part of the whole mess. However, I think it will be on the other side of the equation. I think wights with greyscale will make it harder to kill them.

I also believe that Aegon will eventually sit the IT.  I just think that Euron will get there first...if he doesn't go east after Vic instead.  That is a real possibility because we see him wearing the armor at the end of the Aerion chapter.  If the armor is a part of the Dragonbinder magic, then the reason he put it on could be because he is near the dragon(s) and the horn.  It is very difficult to get a feel for the amount of time that has passed from the beginning of the chapter until the point where Damp is brought to the deck of the ship.  It could be several weeks.  That would be enough time to reach Meereen (maybe?).  Just a bunch a speculation, I know.  But what else are we supposed to do until WoW is finally released?!

given  that we now know that indeed euron has powers, its not so impossible to him having indeed gone to valyria, with the magic knowledge that he has and his priests and wizards, maybe outskirts of valyria at least or some outpost, not necessarily the heart of the smoking sea

Euron is defined by his madness, if there is anyone who can pull a quick trip to valyria, its him

I think that the Dragonbinder horn is directly related to the person wearing the Valyrian steel armor.  That is how Euron plans to control the dragons, regardless of who blows the horn.  I am guessing that the glyphs on the armor are the same spell, or a continuation of the spell that is carved into the horn.

Also, I think that Euron has a clearer path to KL than Aegon does, due to the Tyrell army on the war path to SE.  Even if the GC and Aegon win, that should be a long and bloody battle.  That would give Euron first crack at the IT, as well as possibly unify Dany and Aegon against a common enemy when/if Dany sails west.

One other thing I have been kicking around is greyscale.  It seems to me that greyscale has a huge part to play in this world.  Not only is it mentioned a gazillion times, we even got a first hand look at the Stone Men, and now a POV is actually infected.  My tin foil antenna has been going bonkers on this subject, but my best guess is that the greyscale becomes an epidemic in Westros during the Long Night, and that it ends up being some form of the Stone Men that actually defeat the Others.  that could be the bittersweet ending the GRRM has spoken of.
