I'm not sure what the て-form does in this sentence.

Could it be short for ている?

What is the て-form doing in this sentence?
No, it can't be short for ている. ヴァレンシュタインさんのことも含めて means "including things
about Wallenstein"

answer
It's hard to say something definitive without more context, but it's probably
either one of the followings:

  1. The [te-form used as a request](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/13003/5010). "Please include things about Wallenstein, too."
  2. The main verb after 含めて (教えてください, 話そう, etc.) is omitted, because it's already specified before this sentence. "(Tell me about the incident.) Including things about Wallenstein."
