Only Southern go to Victoria. FCC go to London Bridge - you could get one of their trains to East Croydon and change but in your case there really isn't any point in doing that.
The ticket will include a zones 1-6 travel card as standard.
As to the Sunday I'm sure that a 1-6 travel card will be issued as standard but the machine will give you the options available. TFL have reduced the various options on different zones . It will cost £8.90 and you can buy it on the day at any tube station
On the Monday yes just buy a cash fare for the tube then a ticket for the train at victoria.
And alanR the London Pass can offer tourists a good deal if they do some planning on the attractions they want to see in advance. I've used the equivalents in the US and saved a small fortune as well as time queuing.
