Bnei Noach are not commanded in kiddush haShem.  We learn this from an 
explicit pasuk in Melachim, where Elisha gave Naaman permission to serve 
whenever he accompanied the king to the temple and had no choice but to 
join in his worship.

I have never seen it stated that this does not apply to murder, so I 
assume it does apply, though your argument against it seems sound. By 
way of comparison, the Common Law recognises necessity as a defence to 
any crime except murder, for the same reason that the halacha makes this 
exception.
