In certain areas yes, there is a happy medium between heat and chilling hours that can allow sour cherries to grow (and ripen) in partial shade.

Will these do well in containers?

The mini-dwarf will be okay in a large container, but the dwarf will eventually get too big.

This tree is old enough to bloom, but fruit should be discouraged until it can establish a larger root system.
