In CW Tony did make a remark about "Sometimes I want to punch you in your perfect teeth." He also said "Oh really? You two knew each other? He never mentioned that. Maybe only a thousand times. God, I hated you."
These remarks make me think there is a jealousy there. Emphasize the word "perfect" in the first quote, and why would he hate Cap because his dad talked about him constantly? It's because his father never showed respect for Tony when Howard was alive, but he adored Captain America, this perfect man. So I think for Tony, Cap represents this symbol of what he could never be, and thus why his father never respected him (in Tony's eyes).
I hear you, and Im not saying this side of things doesnt exist.
I can find several quotes where Tony speaks and thinks very highly of Cap. In fact I could say that Tony thinks so highly of Cap that it only made it hurt that much more when he found out about his parents. Clearly he feels that Cap betrayed not only him, but his father as well.
What Im saying is that "jealousy" is not what drove Tony's actions in CW.
The Accords, the fight at the airport, wanting to bring Bucky in, the fight at the end... None of it had to do with Tony being jealous of Cap.
