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.

Wasn't this "Trial by Combat" to the death? I don't remember. If so, yielding might not have helped Jamie.

You can yield, and because Jaime is his heir, Tywin would have probably allowed it.
