Nah, Pence has nothing to go back to with no chance to run again for Governor of Indiana. He's just gotta hope Trump does indeed bail out of the race, and then it probably becomes a Ryan/Pence ticket that probably has a better chance of winning than Trump/Pence. Pence attaching himself to the ticket in the first place was putting all his eggs in one basket. He's gotta ride this out now.
As to Trump withdrawing I think after the first debate, if it happens, makes more sense. Much more catastrophic to the GOP, a party he doesn't give a crap about and seems to be gleefully fighting right now. Withdrawing now is a gift to them, gives them lots of time to regroup. End of September leaves them with few if any options at that point. And we know Trump is very petty and would love to stick it to the GOP.
