Despite being a self-proclaimed Thiefoholic, I've never completed the third game. The style of the gameplay and visuals was far too removed from the first two games. I did not enjoy my time with Deadly Shadows. I've even completed Thief 4 in the time since I first obtained Deadly Shadows, and that's saying something.

So because of this, I know very well the story of Thief and the balance between Chaotic Nature (Pagens) and Technology (Hammerites/Mechanists). But I have no idea how the story continues after that. Is it a good edition to an already great story? Or does it just feel like it's tacked on for the sake of bringing out a third game?

I did not consider the Trickster's immortality. Yes indeed, this further enforces the idea that he'd win in a straight fight. But it has no bearing on a strategic fight. After all it was the Hammerites who played a big part in helping Garret defeat the Trickster. Which means Karras would have little trouble getting around the Trickster's immortality, just as Garret did.

However one point worth noting, Death and I did speak a lot about how the two sides lived in a balanced world for a long time. It was only when Garret arrived on the scene did The Trickster finally put his plan into action. The Trickster was unable to obtain the Eye on his own and needed a third party. Despite being immortal and capable of great power, he clearly had shortcomings that required him to hide behind the disguise of a wealthy collector. This further enforces the idea that Karras and his intelligence would win in some way.
