I'm thinking about getting radiosurgery or excision mole removal in a week or so, would it be a problem if I've been using tretinoin for the past few months?

For a mole on this area of the nose, I would recommend a shave excision method.  If need be to achieve better contour, a laser ablation can be performed immediately after the shave.

I would highly encourage you to see a plastic surgeon or dermatologist to have the lesion evaluated and most likely biopsied.
