I was always hoping that "The Duel" would not take place on a lava planet - I always imagined Obi vs Ani to take place in some random smelting facility - like the end of Terminator 2.
For some funny reason, I always wanted to see the junkyards of Ord Mantell some day - I always thought it would be cool if Anakin vs Obi-Wan took place in the junkyards. Plenty of sharp objects to throw at each other, awesome dark atmosphere, and a brilliant premise for the smelting facility.

What abot the lower pasrt of Corusant? Where they chased Zam (if that was her name, the bounty hunter in EP II) in EP II. It was a lot of melted metal there, so perhaps teh facilities there uses lava to melt it.
Nothing about the cutting of the scenes has really been confirmed because Lucas can change them up until pretty late in the game. The Duel needs to be the longest, most intense saber fight in all the SW movies. Cutting away to other things would lessen the drama. Also, what would they cut to? Jedi being killed? Maybe, but the war is over by that point. It seems that George is getting things out of the way so that this fight can be focused on.
