So can I get a priv ticket from Radlett to Farringdon, or would I need
to get out at St Pancras International, surrender the ticket, then use
the oyster for the rest of the journey?


You can get a ticket (whether priv or normal) no problem, you just
need to specify Farringdon as your destination when you start off.

You will actually be issued with a ticket to destination "London
Thameslink"


Not necessarily. From St Albans I can get a ticket either to
Farringdon Und, route Not Underground, or to London Thameslink. ISTR
that the latter did not work the barrier at Farrongdon but was
accepted by the barrier staff.
