"I feel I have you at somewhat of disadvantage."

Does it mean,
"I feel that you are at disadvantage"?
Thanks
 
Yes. "You are somewhat at a disadvantage, compared to me."
 
The fact that it starts with "I feel that I have you", suggests to me that the speaker has in some way created that disadvantage. That isn't necessarily the case though. In BrE, it's usually "I have you at something of a disadvantage".
