You must be confusing that fight with some other. Caedus never choked Mirta, he simply knocked her out with TK. Jaina at that moment was hiding her presence in the Force in order to take him out with sniper rifle.
In second fight he tried to snap Jaina's neck the same way as Isolder's. She moved along with the direction he twisted her head and countered with a spin kick. Text actually doesn't specify, if that Force grip was choking her, I would assume yes because it would be stupid not to try such an effective technique.
Also, from first fight:
"Despite the pellet wound his shoulder had suffered earlier, Caedus did not hesitate to activate his own blade. His pain would only fuel his power, and if he did not attack the sniper, he knew the sniper would attack him."
Ones again Caedus acknowledges that injuries empower him, not hamper.
