People used to decline to serve in political offices all the time, although that was before vetting procedures and the like (I think the most recent one was when Roscoe Conkling declined an appointment to SCOTUS in 1882).
I'm not sure. I remember reading that when McGovern was thinking about picking Kennedy as his running mate in 1972 Kennedy thought the position would be a downgrade so McGovern's team did research and found it was perfectly fine for the VP to hold a cabinet position as well.
I'm unsure if it would apply to the POTUS holding an office in a different branch.
