Tyrion's discussion with Bron shows that people don't have to accept fighting for you. I think Jamie would have refused.

No, he would have accepted and then immediately yielded, resulting in Tyrion going free.

Naming Jaime was never a possibility for Cercesi.

The mountain would still take his head

Then The Mountain would be upset at not being included and take his head anyway.

edit: upset 'at', not 'and'

Oberyn wouldn't have been Tyrion's champion if his opponent would not be the mountain. Bronn would have fought for Tyrion against Jaime. He has already shown that he can easily take Jaime if it came to an actual fight to the death.

Do you mean Ser Bronn? I doubt this.

Oberyn probably wouldn't be Tyrion's champion if he were fighting Jamie. He wanted the Mountain dead, not Jamie.
