Yes - if you book an advance ticket that involves travelling on the tube between London Terminals, then you can use the tube between those stations!

'EC + conncections' means that your ticket is valid on East Coast services, and any connecting service. This is because you'll be using a different rail operator to get to Darlo from Middlesborough, and from Waterloo to Southampton.

Oh, and for future reference, you could have purchased the same ticket from The East Coast website that you purchased from the trainline, but without paying a booking fee. You'd have also benefited from the extra 10% discount that East Coast offer for advance tickets on their trains if purchased form their website.
