Erm... there are a few holes in this theory.

1: Pointed ears doesn't mean relation between Titan shifters. Ymir's Titan has pointed ears, but she had no idea who the Beast Titan was, indicating that she's not connected with the Homeland.

2: We've already been shown Zeke up close, and other than the presence of a beard and glasses he's got no similarities to Darius Zackly at all. Zeke appears to be much less aged too. Despite his implied age he's got no face wrinkles.

3: Speaking of Zeke's implied age, Zeke didn't know about the existence of 3DMG when he met Mike. Darius Zackly is well aware of 3DMG and its functions, being Commander-in-Chief of the humanity's entire military.

4: Grisha's surname is Jaeger/Yeager. We've known this since chapter one.

As for how Zeke knew to remain in Shiganshina, this strategy might've been due to what Reiner and Bertolt knew. They were there for Erwin Smith's speech about the importance of going to Shiganshina and searching for Eren's basement. After that day, Reiner and Bertolt knew about Shiganshina's importance to the Survey Corps. If they told Zeke about this, he'd want to stay in Shiganshina and wait for the Survey Corps's arrival so they could retrieve the Coordinate for their own purposes.

We might find out something new in the future that changes what we know about Zeke's knowledge, but what we can be 100% certain about is that Zeke isn't Darius Zackly, and Zackly is still doing his job in Mitras.
