Do you ever try to picture Mashiach?

Do you believe that prior to Moshiach, Elijah will come?

Yes

So no Eliyahu = no moschiach. What would be the point of a messiah without a Beis Hamigdosh and Sanhedrin?

Hmmm...
Eliyahu Hanevi's primary function is to begin the in-gathering of the Jews in exile and return them to Hashem.

Peace be on you. As I understand:
1- Jews are waiting for i-Elijah then ii-Messiah.
2- Christians are waiting for Jesus coming back.
3- Orthodox Muslims waiting for i-Jesus (Esa) and ii-Mahdi.
4- Ahmadiyya Muslims [alislamDOTorg] believe that Jesus and Mahdi has come as one person to rejuvenate the faith peacefully.

(peace be on those, who are sent by God)

Mashiach will look like an ordinary Palestinian laborer, maybe a little taller.
