Aside to the regulars, if the OP has a 7 day travelcard, can he get a
ticket from Boundary Zone 6 to Gatwick, and by which route would this
ticket be valid?

No, because he is starting at Gatwick, and such tickets can only be sold
'from' the zonal area.

He's starting at Gatwick on the way in, but going to Gatwick on the way
out. On account of how you have to end up in the same place as the
aeroplane if you want to get on it, i think.

He could buy a BZ5 to Gatwick ticket, and use it on any train which stops
at East Croydon (provided the ticket is valid on that train, of course).
The Victoria and Thameslink trains both call there. I don't think any
reasonably fast train has the stop on Z6 which would be required to enable
the joining-up of the travelcard and a BZ6 ticket.
