It's most likely not worth the effort. You would need to write an entire application that can understand the specific XML format for ESO's UI and then render it, but it would just be an approximation of what it would look like ingame and have it's own bugs and quirks that won't be the same as the ones in the game.

Two things that you can do if you want to make your UI reload faster are using an SSD instead of a normal HDD and disabling all other addons. That way you can try things much faster ingame and it won't be that much of a bother.

If you just want to adjust the positions etc, you can also use TorchBug to edit and preview some properties ingame without the need to reload. Once you are happy with the look, you will have to manually apply the changes to your code though.
