It was not likely, Japan, while scared to death after the dropping of "little boy" on Hiroshima the Japanese Emperor (who spoke for the entire nation) would still not communicate with US peace negotiators. The US was fully prepared for this and went ahead and dropped "fat man" on Nagasaki Which turned out to be a big gamble as the US had only enough Uranium and Plutonium for 2 bombs at the time.

Thankfully though a full scale US invasion of the Home islands was averted, and while the bombing was horrific, it did end up saving both Japanese and American lives as the projected death tools from a full scale invasion would have numbered in the millions.

Communism verses non-communists. But, communists and non-communists EXISTED before the cold war. The Atomic Age created the cold war. If no nuclear weapons existed, there would have been no cold war. There would probably have been a hot one. World War 3 if the the communists wished to start one. But without atomic weapons, it would have been a world war fought looking very much like the Korean War did; jets against jets, etc.
