In that case, what about 'Episode VI Death Squadron to Episode I Naboo', in which they're brought into a potential clash with the Trade Federation fleet that currently blockades the planet? A certain Sith commander in black will feel compelled to do something about the occupation, I'm sure.

Almost certainly. Vader will want to set his younger self on a better path than what he walked IOTL, though not necessarily one bereft of the Dark Side.

I wonder what he'd tell his troops if he (and maybe a strike team?) were to head to Tatooine to run some "paramount errands".

'Darths Plagueis and Sidious ISOTed To Star Trek'. I wonder how the pair would acquaint themselves to this new environment that they've been inexplicably sent to, let alone seize the immortality and absolute power that they respectively crave. To make things easier for them (though much harder for those who stand in their way), maybe they ought to keep their Force powers, lightsabers and other personal paraphernalia as well as a suitable starship to traverse in.

Well, he'd probably have the Machiavellian acumen to work his way into that position and maybe orchestrate something that increases his power; whether he could torment a Clone Wars-resembling conflict, however, I don't know.

Privately, he'd fume at the fact that the Federation doesn't span most of the civilized Milky Way, meaning that his dreams of galactic domination will be much harder and like more conquest-oriented than would be true back in the Star Wars universe.

Maybe shortly before so that he can gathering his bearings and properly acquaint himself with the Star Trek universe, rather than getting dropped into a Federation-threatening conflict cold.

Surely, Old Sheev would be perceptive enough to sense--either due to his Machiavellian brilliance or the Force that he somehow remains connected to--the tensions that are soon to go hot and formulate a course of action(s) accordingly. He'd seek to paint the Dominion War as an existential crisis as he did with the Republic facing the CIS in his universe. For that to succeed, he'd need a working knowledge of the participating factions' technological levels, economic systems, military capabilities (especially this one), etcetera--which, again, would best be cultivated if he had the time to get properly acquainted with the Star Trek universe before putting such acumen to the test. Specifically one as bloody as war with a rival galactic faction.

Well he will react like everybody from the 1970s with shock and awe.
