Otherwise without a confidence vote, the election must be called. But then the date is set by the outgoing government.

Yeah, I thought the FTPA could be stopped simply by passing a confidence motion in someone else whilst in opposition. Reading the flowchart the words 'Parliament has Confidence in HMG' makes more sense.
I kind of want to see this all play out really. Be fun to see what actually happens in those 14 days.
Also, we probably need to legislate what happens if a PM refuses to resign to protect the Monarchy in future.
