Yes, Suzaku asked Lelouch if there was another way at least twice. Lelouch came up with the plan in the first place and has been prepared to die since he first used his Geass. "The only ones who should kill are those prepared to be killed" and all that. He wouldn't have turned back on it. The one time he might have, Suzaku demanded he wouldn't just because of Nunnally and Lelouch was back on track the next day.

Suzaku wanted to kill Zero, but he never wanted to kill Lelouch. Just through his behavior you can see how different he thinks of them even though they are the same person. And the movies imply that Suzaku eventually realized Euphy would've wanted him to help Lelouch. Also before or while Lelouch was emperor, they told each other everything so Suzaku knows what really happened to Euphy. Like I said, Suzaku couldn't stop caring about Lelouch as much as he felt betrayed by Lelouch killing Euphy. He didn't want Lelouch to die, not really. Not only Re;surrection, but just Suzaku crying when he stabbed Lelouch proves that he cares and that it hurt him to do it.
