"Then Higher ups read the storyline and decided they did not want AoS too fantastical in case GotG failed."

Isn't it actually the other way round? The Showrunners have access to what the Higher-Ups have planned with the films, meaning they can write stories with that in mind? Hence the whole storyline with SHIELD falling to pieces partway through the first series, because they knew what was going to happen in the 'Winter Solider.' I'm sure I've read stuff with the Showrunners saying they know what the Higher-Ups want to do waaay down the road, secrets and things that lets them plot and plan and scheme. They get scripts and stuff given to them.

There have been rumours of an Inhuman film for ages. I'm sure I recall reading stuff about them almost immediately after Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were rumoured for Avengers 2, with people way back then being all "since they can't be Mutants [because of the deal with Fox], maybe they could be Inhumans?!" Since then there seems to have been more and more speculation about an Inhumans film and how they could be the MCU's answer to Mutants.

Actually, a quick look on Wikipedia has "a trade report in March 2011 said Marvel Entertainment is developing an Inhumans film" as the earliest date and "in April 2012, Feige mentioned Inhumans as a property out of which he was "confident" a movie would be made." So yeah, it's been on the cards for a while in public discussion and I guarantee that the Showrunners privately know way more about any grand plan than us lowly peons. In that case, I doubt they've had to change anything and figure that this was always the plan.

As for the city, I haven't seen the latest stuff, so I don't know what things are like on-screen. It could be Attilan and it takes off at the end to go to the Moon or something, but I've said before we won't get to see... not Inhumans, but "Attilanians" (we've already seen Inhumans with Skye's family etc, but they're not inhabiting the city). It's not like there's a cast for the film, so we can't see any of the major Inhumans (except maybe in shadow), just notably minor ones. Bear in mind they've got to be minor enough that no one will want to use them in 'Inhumans 2,' or 'Inhumans vs Avengers' or whatever else they do with the franchise. You've got to manage your expectations, know what Agents of SHIELD is and what it isn't. Yes, Samuel L Jackson has been really cool about it, but I'm not expecting Hawkeye to come on for a single episode, flirt up a storm with Mockingbird making Lance all jealous in the process (for Drama!) and then ride off to his next adventure. Actually, I don't want that, if only because it sounds terrible and arbitrary and wasteful.
