Who Wins

Pre-6, you do not win a sustained 2v2 against Tristana because her range and attack speed outpace yours in extended trades, but at level 2 you can burst her with Nautilus's root chain into your W slow and 4th shot for a strong early lead.
Post-6, you win the all-in decisively because your R combined with Nautilus's chain CC means Tristana cannot escape or retaliate effectively, and Yuumi's healing is irrelevant during a full lockdown burst.

Your best trading pattern is to let Nautilus initiate with Q, immediately land your W to slow Tristana in place, and then unload your 4th shot and R if available — you should never auto-trade freely against Tristana because her attack speed and range advantage will out-DPS you in a straight fight.
Position behind Nautilus at all times to avoid being the primary target of Tristana's poke.

Push the wave consistently with Nautilus to deny Tristana passive stacks and force her into a defensive position — a shoved wave limits her ability to freely poke with E and auto-attacks without overextending into Nautilus's engage range.
Avoid freezing; a frozen wave near Tristana's tower lets her safely farm and stack while Yuumi heals any poke damage you deal.

Do not use your R as a damage tool in isolation — save it for when Nautilus has already landed his CC chain, because a free Tristana can simply jump away from your R shots with her E, wasting your ultimate and leaving you vulnerable during the long cast animation.
