And any journey that uses restriction 8A. TfW seem to like using this for Off Peak Returns, which allows travel at any time (like an Anytime Return) but break of journey is not permitted. Cardiff - Swansea is an example.
If it's a digital railcard, you should be able to do all of it online. Create an account on the TfL website, add your payment card/device, add your railcard number (which TfL validate with RDG) and away you go.
I think you mean Esher, which is the station for Sandown Park racecourse, rather than Sandown on the Isle of Wight?
You just need a ticket from Surbiton - Esher and you can travel on a train straight to Esher station.
But is every ticket checked on the train after every stop? It's quite easy to get on a train and ignore the guard when they ask for "tickets from station X". Short of fitting a tracking device to each passenger when they enter a station, people will always find a way to pay less, or not at all...
If you want better value for money, you can always take the stopping services where you'll get to spend twice as long travelling for the same price. Depending on the route, it's either around 67 or 73 min.

The daily caps are set at 1/5th the 7 Day Travelcard season rather than the other way around. The same does not apply to outboundary Travelcards as TOCs are responsible for pricing them and not TfL.
The same pricing could apply to outboundary Travelcards but that would result in the Anytime Day...
Do you need to return from Victoria by train? An annual Travelcard for Zones 2-5 would cover East Croydon - Vauxhall, and all your bus journeys for £1,700.
You'll need to book if you're taking the 0605 Lymington - Yarmouth or 1105 Yarmouth - Lymington as both sailings have restricted capacity for foot passengers. I'd give them a call if you're travelling at another time to see if you need to make a reservation as a foot passenger. A through ticket...
