As for "escaping" the supernova, unlikely, it blasts out at the speed of light.
Well, we are getting into a discussion about what it realistic or not in game terms, which is problematic. But if you assume that the warp points are at least as far from the sun as Pluto then even traveling at light speed the shockwave would take over 5 hours to reach the warp point. It's not unreasonable to say that it wouldn't take that long for a fleet to enter a warp point.
