There's evidence he was trying to prevent worse things from happening. He hid the last dragons, he joined a extremist group, he was WAY ahead of Azula capturing him, his prison escape plan was likely a long term thought process he already had. Iroh was never going to be fire lord.

He was first in line to be Fire Lord until his son died.

I don't think Iroh would have been as ruthless as his brother. But he did see conquest as a sort of duty.

But then his son died, and he realized that it was all pointless.
