Actually, I did consider the possibility that Adama would have nuked the planet. I would have been surprised, but moreso at the writers and not at Adama.
As Adama said, the union has no place in the military. The question really is how far Adama is willing to go to protect the survivors. Considering what we've seen over the past 3 years, that's pretty damned far. The difference between Adama and Cain is that what Adama does is put the interest of the fleet at the top. Cain put the interest of her ship at the top. That's a marked difference, though they may use similar methods.
