Using double avios as a gold

To get more redemption availabilities. Does that only work on discounted business like D (same as GGL joker) or can you get j availabilty as well?

The rules only state that there must be seats available for sale in the desired cabin. I have no experience with the actual application. You could try calling.
4.Flight(s) must still have seats available for sale in the desired cabin of travel.
Other rules here:

J availability will work, provided no one else has pulled a joker or a double avios on it already (unlikely I would suspect, unless it's Malé). You need a month's notice too.

Forgot about this benefit. Can you also use a 241 in combination with this?

No.
From the rules linked above:
5.Double Avios Points may not be used in conjunction with [i] Avios & Money, [ii] Gold Upgrade for Two; or [iii] Avios for Upgrade or [iv] American Express Vouchers.
It doesn't mention Chase vouchers but probably just a failure to update the T & C's.
