So to test an example - Highbury and Islington should be able to sell a
GNER "Loony Woony Toony" [1] ticket to Newcastle upon Tyne because you
can catch a FCC train at Highbury and then eventually change on a GNER
service at Stevenage or Peterborough?

Why not? I'm sure you would have no hassle buying out-of-town tickets
up the road at Drayton Park or Essex Road, and I'm sure people
regularly do.

It is going to be very interesting to see what happens under the
Overground set up - I imagine that current TOC locations will see no
change but what will happen at "transferred to LU control" stations like
Kew Gardens or Queens Park I do not know. I imagine London Travelwatch
are already on the warpath after their previous campaign about
Stratford.

Harrow & Wealdstone will be LUL and have direct trains to Birmingham
(and potentially Crewe in future), which should be interesting. Plus I
was surprised to see the new Goblin ticket machines have full NR
software. I wonder if it'll last.
