Ok, simple question - is is better to get tickets for the Gatwick express (does it still go to Victoria?) at the station in Gatwick or on Ryanair?

Best to buy them on board the train. They often don't even come around to collect them !!
Other option is to go into London using the regular Southern Rail, which is £6 cheaper, more frequent, and not a lot slower. You can buy a travel card from Gatwick airport train station, which will allow you to travel anywhere in the zone 1 - 6 area all day.

No - you'll need to purchase a travelcard for the Tube in Central London when you arrive at Victoria .. it's not possible as far as I'm aware to buy a combined travelcard with your Gatwick - Victoria ticket (Gatwick is outside the zonal area that tube tickets work on)
Yes - but there's fairly limited point in buying the travelcard at Gatwick as it's not going to cover your train ticket in from Gatwick as Gatwick is well outside Zone 6 - so you'll still have to buy a separate train ticket.
Zonal travelcards only cover Heathrow (Zone 6) and City Airport (Zone 3) - all other airports are outside the zones, so you'd have to buy a travel card and a separate ticket from the zone boundary to Gatwick Airport.
