its actually an interesting question: WOULD they even fight, if nothing had occurred to make them?

Take Daud and Corvo. Daud wouldn't try and kill the Royal Protector for no reason. Its too much risk, for no reward. Corvo MIGHT try and kill the notorious assassin, or might not give two shits as long as he stayed the hell away from the royal family. We're never given much of an indication what Corvo's thoughts on "law" and "honor" are, only that he is a human blender in a fight and loves the kaldwins. And when he goes on his quest to save them, we see (regardless of player choices) that he is willing to cast aside huge societal rules in his pursuit. Its just as likely that he's the sort of man to leave criminals to their own ends as he is a man to say "STOP, CRIMINAL SCUM!" and draw on the spot.

Granny Rags, it seems clear, doesn't fight anyone she doesnt need to, else she'd have put a knife in Corvo's throat LONG before he ruined her stew.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, that shiny blossom of love and happiness, good old Mr. Sullivan. Dude will throw down with anyone he thinks he can take, and won't get in trouble for.

Delicious Bronzefork, over-ambitious fool that she is, actively picks a fight with Daud. Daud is only after her because the Outsider set him on her trail, but because she meddles with Daud's organization, he not only has a reason to fight her, but her involvement is what finally allows him to track her down. She be a dumb, in short.

Willard Garrison, though. I doubt he'd fight anybody. He'd be all "What? Other dudes have Marks and magic power? OMG it's like I'm in a secret club! I have FRIENDS!"

Then his rats would eat him like they do in the proper canon.
