Why does it say "va'Yachan", "va'Yrachamem" and "va'Yifen"?

1.

Malbim: These are due to (a) Chen, (b) mercy and (c) merit of the Avos, respectively.

I do not understand this. Yisrael could defeat Chaza'el without nullifying his Meshichah to be king. And even if it were Batel, we find that Shmuel's Meshichah of Sha'ul could have been Batel in Shmuel's lifetime, had Shmuel not prayed that this not happen (Ta'anis 5b)! (PF)
