In smoke detectors and tritium watches the quantity of radioactive material is minuscule compared to the beta emitter in the battery, as in multiple orders of magnitude less. None of the things you mentioned have radioactive material in any significant quantity. If you swallowed or inhaled this battery you’d be exposed to significant amounts of radiation.
“If you swallowed or inhaled this battery you’d be exposed to significant amounts of radiation.”
It’s beta radiation, which can be stopped by a layer of tin foil, I think. So yeah if you ate the source itself that would be bad, but if you eat the battery with the casing, probably much less bad?

A microwave is not an ionizing radiation source.
I think you’re in trouble if you swallow or inhale any batteries.
