Say a emperoror decides to visit a kingdom and orders the king to vacate their throne and allow the emperor to sit upon it. for as long as he was in the kingdom’s capital Would the king be bound to listen to his “king”? Could the emperor, as the king’s ruler, overrule any of the king’s rulings as per his wish? Say the king wanted to avoid war with a neighboring country but the emperor wanted it, who would the people listen to?

I believe you have answered your own question without necessarily realising it. The hierarchy is the Emperor is in charge and the kings all do as the Emperor say. The Emperors word therefore is law to them and they need to do anything their boss says. The Kings are likely to be seen as a threat to any Emperor and could gather power revolt, so it is possible that once an Emperor is in power it would dissolve any previous kingdoms and say they all come under his role and all laws are to be agreed by him. I believe China used to do this – with the Emperor being the only one that can make laws
