yes, you do

Yes, you just have to fill the meter to 100 % quicker and everyone gets a participation trophy, so even if ppl join maybe they won't interfere.

Captains! If I join in a pvp takeout and finish it with/without fighting another player. Do I take over the factory?

Essentially, any PvP event like Hostile Takeover, Helm Wager and Cutthroat Cargo Hunt are essentially forced PvP on missions. But if there's no one else in the activity, it just plays like as if you are playing a PvE mission. While nobody can enter a cutthroat cargo hunt after the timer goes 0 and it begins, people can join hostile takeover and helm wager partways.

So to answer your question, yes, but it's riskier than solo takeover (which guarantees PvE only)
