It made me think that Agrabah's throne is what he's after-he said he won't need the old man once he's bent the laws of magic-By that point I figured it must be what he's after. I am really curious now, if the Sultan had another child.... possibily, a daughter. It would be an interresting way, of incorporating the Aladdin tale. Princess Jasmine could be Jafar's half-sister, and Aladdin his brother-in-law.

There was nothing in the flashback, that would contradict it. The Sultan only "cared" for Mirza, because he was the male heir. I got the impression, that Mirza did not duel Jafar, because he knew their father was a scumbag. Leaving a woman (who married a street-rat, no less) on the throne, would be a further insult to the Sultan.
