Agreed. It will still work against Archaon, since he does have a Wizard level.

This is correct. Another character or a unit champion may accept, but if (and only if) KFA is in base contact with the Cauldron, the challenge cannot be entirely refused as the Cauldron cannot be removed from its position.

Now, I may decline the challenge because there is a character available to be sent to the back. Is this correct as well? Because I can easily see it as a must to include a 2nd character in the unit, then, or KFA will be "safe" in the first combat round in a forced challenge against the death hag + cauldron, both of whom he will likely wipe out. First all attacks directed against the cauldron, then thunderstomp the DH down. WE's will lose combat and lose frenzy this way :/
If KFA's not in base contact with the Cauldron, you can refuse the challenge. If he is, the Cauldron can't be removed from base contact and must therefore accept, according to the "Nowhere to run" rule. Having a second character in the unit won't change that - it's just that the other character may accept the challenge instead.
