I wonder if anyone could help.
I could not find the same price for the below flights on BA.com, so planning to book it through Mytrip.com.
Would I be able to collect avios and TPs for bth flights (credit them to BA)
If yes how?

I'm getting GBP1139.52 when I book all those flights in I class - this OTA must be offering a negotiated rate of some kind, but I would suspect it still books into I class, as other than the class used for redemptions, there's no lower booking code.
If you go for it, just add your BAEC number to the booking, if not at time of purchase with mytrip, then after booking on BA.com and/or RJ.com.

Assuming this doesn't book into something silly on RJ, like a redemption class for example, there don't seem to be any excluded classes for earning on RJ. Their lowest revenue business class booking code is I class, which appears on the table found here: (The actual hierarchy is JZCDI)

Is there an easy way to spot these fares? Just looking at booking an ex-EU itinerary and eBookers is over EUR1000 cheaper than booking directly with BA but that's no deal if I don't earn Avios and TP. The booking classes shown on eBookers are all J and I so will these earn tier points as normal?
