I passed the Tier 3 Rebel mission by looking on the sector map and seeing which hyperspace location was closer to the WP of the ship i had to meet. i then hyperspaced to it ( which doesn't count against you because you haven't left the sector ), bypassing the pile of crazy tough Tier 4s that killed me twice in a row.

I dont see how as soon as you hit 2K past your WP of the mission it fails. At least that is what it does for me.
There are a few things to keep in mind when hyperspacing...
1. Before you start a mission hypering all over the place is fine
2. If the mission is non-escort, hypering all over the sector is fine
3. If the mission is escort, you CANNOT get more than 2 km away from the escort or you will fail
4. hypering out of a system during a mission will cause you to fail
You're hitting #3. Escort missions require that you stay within a certain distance of the ship.
This is only in effect once the mission starts though. It's safe to enter the system then hyper to a closer point before you meet up with the ship you're supposed to escort. Once you meet it, though, you're stuck there.

This is not an escort mission. Its a survive mission /shurg
Weird, I don't think I've ever done a survive mission so don't think I can help you there.
All my missions are composed of the following:
A) blow X stuff up
B) don't let X get blown up
