Every jurisdiction must give the accused a right to face his accuser. Therefore the victim of a crime MUST appear in court to give testimony. There are a few rare exceptions for situations in which the examination and opportunity to cross-examine are done before trial in a criminal trial. These may occur if the witness is unlikely to appear at trial, in other words to die before trial. The defendant must have an opportunity to be present at these proceedings. The state and/or the defense can and do force eyewitnesses and victims of crimes to testify at trial. This is done ALL THE TIME. Either side (or the judge, for that matter) can subpoena (that is get a court order) to bring witnesses into court. You can be arrested and held until you testify or until it is decided you are not needed in the proceedings.

The Sixth Amendment gives you these rights; 1. Every person has a right to a speedy trial. 2.Accused people must be informed of the charge or charges brought against them. 3.If a case comes to trial, the accused persons have the right to question people who are witnesses against them. They can also bring their own witnesses who have evidence to support their case. 4.A person accused of an offense has the right to be represented in court by an attorney. (And since 1963, a person who can't afford a lawyer must have one provided by the court.)
Of course they can - it is encouraged.
"Section 3 also requires the testimony of two different witnesses on the same overt act, or a confession by the accused in open court, to convict for treason. This rule was derived from an older English statute, the Treason Act 1695.[15]"
McCarthy accused many Americans of being communists. Ironically, he was never able to actually identify any communists. People who McCarthy named were brought before a senate committee and made to testify, and try to explain their innocence. McCarthy ruined many careers by falsely accusing people of being communist.
Tom Sawyer decides to testify in order to do what he believes is right and to help bring justice to the situation. He may also feel a sense of responsibility to tell the truth and ensure that the correct person is held accountable for their actions.
