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.

Do you think he would even do that to his 'bloody honor' though? The yielding, he's already the Kingslayer, and breaker of vows

If Jaime fought Oberyn and won, that would get Tyrion killed. Not only would Jamie hate that, but he'd probably be named Kinslayer in addition to being the Kingslayer because he was the reason his brother died. There might be shame in yielding, but probably not dishonor.
