I don’t think 1926 is too early for Grindelwald to be around. Remember the Grindelwald stoty is a parallel to the nazis. The nazi party in Germany was very much on the up in 1926. After Hitler’s unsuccessful coup in 1922, his followers regrouped and became more successful than ever. Hitler published the first volume of ‘Mein Kampf’ in 1925 and became more popular by the minute. The nazis didn’t come out of nowhere in 1933, and neither did Grindelwald, I assume.
As for Dumbledore ignoring Grindelwald for a long time before taking him down, I believe it is canon that it took him many years to brace himself to fight him, because he feared the confrontation for personal reasons.
