Can you play No Way Out during a battle not associated with a province, for example from a battle created by Aramasu's Legacy stronghold or Ambush or Shinobi Assault? If so will the targets be destroyed the same?

You can certainly play No Way Out. However, its effect will always fail, since it needs a Province in order to check if it was destroyed.

Precedent.
