Which puts the Swiss govt in a bit of a bind as the people have ordered it
to effect those changes.


It's more complicated than that with Swiss referendums.

So the Swiss may have to tear up their agreement with the EU in its
entirety if the EU won't renegotiate it.


Yes, that is obviously one option. But it is far
from clear that a referendum that asks if that
is what should happen would succeed or not.

The Swiss can be quite sensible at times, like
when they decided at a referendum with an
overwhelming majority that they think it makes
no sense to pay everyone a great slab of money
regardless of whether they need it or not.
