how is he going to get Bran to forget his people and fight them with the Others?
I think its possible that Bloodraven is planning on warging into Bran in his final moments. Either that or is attempting to brainwash Bran into thinking that overtaking Westeros is the "right" thing to do. I don't believe he succeeds in either however.

Didn't the Children of the Forest fight the Others for thousands of years?
Yes, they gave their lives to defend the realms of men for thousands upon thousands of years and for what? To get their people slaughtered and their gods eradicated? To have their very culture and sense of being purged from the realm to the point that people now believe they are only myth? I can understand their desire for vengeance and their desire to return home.
They are obviously too weak and too outnumbered to do that themselves. But have you ever wondered why they attached themselves to Bloodraven? A man of Valyrian descent with no ties to the first men (the children's last known allies)? Maybe because Bloodraven found a way to deliver them the army they needed. Maybe he found a way to bend their enemy to their will so that they fight for them?
Thats my take on it anyway.

Why would Others be making COTF?
I don't think they are.

I like the theory, and it is well thought out, but there is a whole lot of conjecture there. You are doing some real critical thinking. I like it.
Oh yeah, and while GRRM throws the stereotypical fairytale assumptions of good versus evil out the window with the regular citizens of Westeros, I do get the feeling he saves that for the COTF and Others (Good vs Evil).
I think he'll maintain that, which is why I have a hard time believing that the COTF would join the Others.
