I second this suggestion that would really help picking surrender terms.

I'd suggest a tutorial or help text about the diplomacy screen when at war.  E.g., a note that your war score will be converted to cash unless you make demands.  I had captured the opponents only city, and ended the war.  It wasn't obvious that I needed to make demands for the city I occupied to retain it.  Once you know, it's not hard to remember, but it's not obvious the first time.  

I think this is a very good idea too. It would make dealings in diplomacy much more easier.

Excellent Idea: in general I dont think players memorize the name of their cities, regions, outposts especially when captured from the enemy or belonging to the enemy so listing them by name is reeally irrelevant.

What is most relevant is the position of the asset on the map as proposed above it shoudl be put into center and highlighted

Other relevant info are pop count, economic output, units located on them and trade routes connected - name is useless and can only serve as an ID but not evne as a unique ID as several cities might have the exact same name :)

I think a Paradox style peace treaty menu, where the map is part of the UI of it, would make sense.

Ah yes that is also a clever way to implement it.

Is it just me or is it impossible to cancel a surrender? The "cancel" button is always greyed out... I want to keep fighting!

That is simply because your opponent has totally lost the capacity to continue its war effort. Looks at its War Support. If War Support reaches 0, then there is only one option available: unconditional surrender(in this case force surrender).
