On why vermin want to conquer Redwall; it's a strategic place. Once you have Redwall, you'll be famous, and vermin from all over Mossflower will want to join your horde. Going by the description of the cellars, Redwall has enough supplies to lay seige to Salamandastron. With a large enough army, and a competent leader, you could take over the entire Mossflower area. Redwall is the key, and even by it by itself gives control over most of Mossflower.
