The letter to Ikem was has issues in terms of its origin. We see Azula carrying the actual document that she stole from Ozai's secret room on her back (a real plot hole because really, who wouldn't have seen that when she turned around?) while Zuko finds the parentage document in her boot. Given how she was sleeping and knowing Azula to be careful to hide the actual letter, she wouldn't have fallen asleep with the letter exposed in such a clear-cut manner.

Azula, while still deranged, has not lost her cunning. She remains intelligent and knows Zuko (among the rest of the group) is suspicious of her and would we watching her in her sleep. Planting evidence in an obvious location would be a perfect sabotage plan to mess with Zuko mentally.

As per arguments below that seem to indicate that Zuko remains Fire Lord for the next 60+ years, barring the crappy device of 'Zuko was a good Fire Lord and the people wanted him even though he was a bastard usurper', Ozai is his father. Bryke wouldn't put so much effort into writing father-son angst into A:TLA if they were just going to undo it with 1 page in a graphic novel.
