GoT - Dragons, Dothraki, Unsullied Oh My!

Now that we've seen the trailer and we know that at some point the Dothraki, Unsullied and Daenerys herself (riding Drogon) will face the Lannister army.

Dany has not been to Westeros since the night she was born. Her brother Viserys, raised her in Essos while they were on the run from the "Usurper " Robert Baratheon, who constantly tried to have them killed. Even though Daenerys didn't grow up in Westeros she learned all about it from her brother. Albeit her brother was biased and also bitter about his family's demise. However, she knows how the kingdom is made up of a feudal system. There is the king, then the Wardens of the North, South, East and West, then their are liege lords and lesser lords and then the common folk.

My question is how does Dany think the people of Westeros are going to respond to her army of "savages?" We have yet to really see a lot of people of color in Westeros. Most of the people of the kingdom are descendants of the Andals and the First Men, who were mainly white. The closest we get to people of color are the Dornish. Essos on the other hand, is almost completely made up of black and brown people. Now, I'm not trying to start a race war in Westeros and I'm a die-hard Dany fan. I'm just wondering what her plans are to integrate these peoples intoWesterosi society. A society that her ancestor Aegon Targaryen built. She is having to reconquer her homeland years after her father, the Mad King Aerys Targaryen was murdered much like Aegon the Conqueror's quest to join the seven kingdoms into one. Since Robert Baratheon's death in Season 1 the kingdom has been crumbling with each area once again becoming it's own mini-kingdom with it's own ruler. I definitely do not see Cersei as someone who could unite the seven kingdoms once again, nor do I see her leading it against the coming winter and the White Walkers. But, Dany's army is built from former slaves and Dothraki, who have a completely different governing systemand set of rules, whereas Westeros is polished and I guess you could say more advanced. (At least in terms of comparing it to our society today). Dany will have a lot of work ahead of her to join all of these people and establish a system where everyone can get along.

Here's my somewhat silly, but also practical question...

Dany hasn't even landed in Westeros yet, though we see in the trailer that she makes it to Dragonstone. How much does Dany know about Westerosi winters? Also, she has no idea that winter is once again coming to Westeros. I am not sure if it's ever been established if Essos is affected by winter. I would think it covers the world and that the White Walkers wouldn't just stop at conquering Westeros, they would want it all. What is Dany going to do once she finds out about this new threat that will once again divert her from her main task, conquering Westeros? And how will the Dothraki and Unsullied fare in the winter weather? They will definitely need new clothes. They are used to dry, hot land. It's going to be funny to see them once they are surrounded by snow.

What do you think Dany's plan is and do you think the Unsullied and Dothraki will be able to adapt to the Westerosi climate as the get further north and winter spreads further south?
