My question is... if NRE say you can go from Putney to Vauxhall on

a

via Kingston, via Wimbledon etc. service does that make it a valid
route and could someone with a zone 1 and 2 travelcard make that
journey but abandon it at, say, Kingston?

Kingston is in Zone 6 so presumably you need a Zone 6 Travelcard to
make it valid. Putney is classed as being in both Zones 2 & 3 as far

as

I can remember, so any journey beyond there would not be valid on a
Zone 1 & 2 card.

Ok, so what about with a single ticket from Putney to Vauxhall?

I think you're allowed to use a ticket on any direct train between your
origin and destination, regardless of the route it takes - but you
probably wouldn't be able to get off at Kingston or any intermediate point.
