Yesterday, I was told by a BA agent that a flight was completely sold out including J cabin. Whereas I could see I and R fares available on EF.
Yes (for revenue bookings).

Fares are different to availability. Whether you can see a fare doesn't mean you can buy it or apply it to a particular flight. A fare (or a fare component) is completely disconnected from a route or a particular flight. They are different concepts in the travel agent language.

You need to check the availability on the flight. Use the "Flight Availability" option.
