OK. That looks like a scenario, not a question.

No. The prevent-and-go-to-torpor effect is applied in strike
resolution. So if the vampire prevents damage with Ashes to Ashes
(which is done during damage prevention, before the Garotte-bearer can
burn the Garotte), then the Garotte-bearer can respond to the vampire-
going-to-torpor-during-strike-resolution by burning the Garotte to
burn the vampire instead. The vampire can respond with yet another
Ashes to Ashes to switch that back to "go to torpor".
Or, the vampire could decline to prevent any damage in the first
place, then after damage prevention is declined, the Garrote-bearer
can burn the Garrote to burn the wounded vampire. At that point it is
too late to try to go back and prevent some damage. The vampire could
use Ashes to Ashes at [for] to convert the "burn" effect from Garrote
to a "go to torpor" effect.
