I don't think a lot of these questions need answers.
I always assumed that the NK was interested in Bran because the Three-Eyed Raven had sixth-sense powers that were a threat to the NK. The NK was programmed to knock him off the same way a disease attacks a vital organ. There isn't a "reason" or "intention", it's just the nature of it.
Why is the NK suddenly making his move now after 8,000 years? The NK isn't a human and doesn't reason like one. He is more like a force of nature/magic. He is like a natural disaster or plague that could occur at any time. Like pressure building up before a volcano finally erupts, the NK's army was slowly building for those 8,000 years until it was time. Why does it have to be more than that?
