Assuming that happens, the compromise language has to be passed by both chambers.

Does the compromise bill require another cloture vote in the Senate?

Assuming there is a GOP objection to limiting time for debate, yes, cloture will be required in order to advance to an up or down vote. There is no way to block taking the conference report up, but a senator can attempt to block voting on passage.
