Will a mediator decide who wins?

No. Unlike arbitrators in an arbitration, mediators do not decide cases. They have no power to impose a resolution of the dispute on the parties. They can offer different perspectives, help you to articulate your priorities, re-frame the dispute, and assist the disputants in negotiating a settlement. But they cannot tell you what to agree to.
