So they won’t make a decision off the outcome of the situation in the first letter- just to explain the tickets I’ve purchased? Thankfully they didn’t catch me with the oyster so they can’t investigate that I’m presuming?

Think of it from their point of view. Inspectors caught you with an invalid ticket. They stop lots of people like you. Why would they think it would be worth their while looking at your Oyster usage as well - they don't even know if you have got an Oyster, whether it is registered in your name, address etc etc. If you didn't mention your Oyster when you were caught, they will be none the wiser.

Just overthinking apologies just hoping it doesn’t escalate to being prosecuted. I’ve only been using Trainline the past 2 weeks so shouldn’t be over 400 pounds. I have a question they won’t issue the out of court settlement or make a conclusion on the first letter?

It varies from case to case. But I would expect the railway to come to a decision when they have all the information they think they need, or when they have all the information they think they are going to get. It's worth remembering that neither of these tests are the same as having all the information that could be out there.

(I'm afraid I haven't read the whole 4 page thread so don't know details or even what Train Operating Company this is.)
If this is GTR or SWR, then that's almost certainly what will happen.
Most companies will write to you to ask what happened, then their response to your reply may offer and out of court settlement.
