No, it is just to help you with another misconception. That there will be few in heaven is contrary to the teaching of scripture.

I am primarily discussing Calvinism and what it teaches.

When has theology had anything to do with the scripture?

There is no misconception here.

Yes Abraham won the negotiation, then God removed Lot and his family from that city and destroyed it.

Abraham didn't win. There weren't 10 righteous. The city wasn't spared; the righteous were.

Boil Calvinism down and it's an interpretation of the scripture.

Even more so, Calvinism is an idea that applies the necessary interpretation to the scripture.

What is your problem with God's eternal sovereign decree?

I love God's eternal decrees and I'm very thankful that He is sovereign.

Only Lot and 2 daughters were spared. I count 3.

Nevertheless God did, in fact, save some from that city.

God could have destroyed Sodom with Lot and His daughters in it, but He did not.

The righteous escaped.

The righteous generally escape. They aren't under condemnation.
