well here's the thing: I've offered to settle a few things diplomatically, because fair hair is worse then us in terms of diplomacy.
Why do you think he's wanting to conquor instead of being diplomatic.
I'm going for the diplomatic options because I don't want to risk losing troops when Fairhair already has us outnumbered.

It dosen't work like that.

Oh wait, that's exactly how this is going to work. Except Fair hair isn't interesting in Friendship, only Norway.

Even when playing as one of the most martialy inclined culture people still always tend to with the Diplomatic option.
The chances of this working is rather low even, considering we have no real legend to speak of, are relatively unknown by most and do not have any real advantage over these other Jarls. Fighting them on the other hand would also serve to increase our renown I believe plus also serve as a testing ground for our men.

It would also cause us to take a lot of casualties when we are already at a numerical disadvantage against Fairhair. If they won't submit peacefully, fine, we'll deal with them after Fairhair, but until he's out of the picture, we cannot afford more enemies.

Subjugating the enemy thanes and installing Einars dad as a Jarl will empower the family. (There's no jarl in charge of the thanes)

I would argue that we do not have enough prestige to our name to have the other Jarls submit to us peacefully and with are time limit we should not use an action trying. by fighting the north we can gain more resources to fight Fairhair. and gain prestige that could help us convince Kjotve the Rich to submit to us.

Einar actually has a pretty good legend, at least the start of one anyway:
He led a raid with no casulties on his side, fought a tyrannical Jarl and honored an agreement to marry said girl off so that Fairhair at least got his end of the bargin.
People tend to listen when someone does that.
good point. By the way, how much prestige does an average Jarl have
