[X-Men] Ultimate Wolverine murdered a teenage mutant whose power was to kill all life-forms around him via radiation. He accidentally killed his family/town and this story would have hurt the public's perception of mutants forever. Would 616 Wolverine have killed him too?

Likely yes, if all other options were out. Pre-Krakoa he probably would try to call some favors, like dampener collars or have a powerful telepath knock the kid out, and if that didn't work, well... What he does isn't very nice, as the tag line goes. 

Post-Krakoa he'd kill the kid without a second thought, and just respawn the clone on the island.
