Even though his IM3 armour was weak compared to his Avengers suit (IM3 suits got torn apart by Extremis guys, yet his Avengers armour could tank Thor's lightning at point blank, and only suffered superficial heat damage), it should still probably give Tony the win. Too many random weapons and projectiles that can be fired even if IM is stationary, so even if Vader tries the force, Tony can still fight back in spades. The fact that Tony has Jarvis to auto-target for him also helps.

I think the problem here is range. Fights that start at .5kms mean that Vader (who has shown extremely long range with is firce choke, it looks like any within visual range) can start off with a choke from the get-go. And most of Tony's weaponry aren't at those range IIRC.
Op says fight starts at 20ft.

Lets be real here, Tony has enough fire power to get out to rape Vadar even if he goes for a Choke..Vadar is a glass cannon when compared to Tony. Between his missiles, unibeam, tri beam, shoulder cluster missiles, arm missiles and everything else, no way Vadar is taking him.
The problem is Vader doesn't have to aim. He doesn't even have to gesture. As soon as the fight starts Stark's throat is crushed.

But the choke was never an instant kill. It took time, and the way Tony's suit works, it is connected neurally with his brain, so all he has to think and it happens. Adding in Jarivs is overkill, if he was somehow unable to think, Jarvis would do the rest.
Not all metal is equal. Being able to crush some medical tanks and droids in a fit or rage does not mean he can instantly crush IM's armour and throat before IM can let loose any one of the several weapons he has in his suit. Feats suggest fine uses of power require a bit more time and concentration. Tony only needs to think to let his weapons loose.
