As I usually rely on Oyster PAYG, season tickets are a bit of a
mystery to me. Am I right in thinking that the ticket I'm after is a 7
day Slough to London R1256 at £69.70?

Yes, I'd think so.

One thing I'm not sure about is whether you could actually buy said ticket
at the London end - outboundary Travelcards are kinda intended for people
travelling into London, and I believe they're excluded from the normal rules
whereby a ticket office is supposed to sell any ticket a punter asks for (or
maybe that only applies to outboundary Day Travelcards?).

In the past I've bought a 7-day Zones + Redhill travelcard from my local
tube station without any problems.
