I have no idea when Dany is going to land on Westeros, so that changes a lot of things. I also have no idea when Stannis/Melisandre will become relevant again and when Winter will breach the Wall. But in a general overview, my guess is that the Wildlings and the North/Starks eventually ally and fight the Walkers, while the Lannisters or Stannis are the first to fight against Dany (since she's either landing on KL or Dragonstone). Dany will win the war (but possibly not every battle), and this will eventually bring her north towards Jon Snow (she wants to unite the Seven Kingdoms, after all).

The reason Mormont's sword is important is because his son is Jorah. It would be very strange for a writer to make a father and son significant characters yet not have any relationship within the story. If nothing comes of why both Jorah and Lord Commander are Mormonts, then it was dumb to give them the same last name.

So what I think is going to happen is that Dany is going to want to kill everybody who opposes her (Snow will be one of those), but Jorah will see the sword and realize that his father was close to Snow and trusted him, and will convince Dany that maybe Snow and the Starks and whoever else might not be the real enemy.

I have no idea how the timelines will go though. Initially I thought Winter would Come all over Westeros and the only salvation would be Dany and her dragons, but now I think the Dragons will land on Westeros long before Winter breaches the Wall
