No, Tony didn't have Government Authority to kidnap Peter. Peter is a private citizen and isn't in the military so the government doesn't have the authority to draft him into service. Moreover, Peter is a minor so he couldn't be drafted anyway. And the government has no authority to allow anyone to kidnap a minor and transport the minor out of the country without the consent of the minor's parents or legal guardian.
Also, what Peter wants is irrelevant. Peter is a minor so under the law, Peter isn't allowed to leave the country without the consent of his parents or legal guardian. Since Peter is a minor, transporting him out of the country under false pretenses and lying to Aunt May is considered kidnapping of a child, regardless of whether or not the child went voluntarily. Since Peter is a child, he's not legally able to give consent so what Peter wants is irrelevant.
