If someone has a bus pass from another city (for example
Birmingham) then
can it be used on buses in London?

Do you mean a twirley pass?

Yes

Indeed, as long as you mean an Old Person's Bus Pass. But the Oyster readers
can't handle them so you just show it to the driver.

What about on the Tube?

No

Aren't "disabled" bus passes similarly nationally valid (never having had
any interface with them, I have no idea)

Yes. (Where "national" = England.)

How does that work for cross border services?

I often see a bus in Shrewsbury with Llandiloes - Newtown - Welshpool -
Shrewsbury on it. Am guessing it is a shopping link for rural Mid Wales
into a large town, is it free as far as the border and then pay the fare
from there?

I Googled [cross-border bus pass]

and found "People living in Wales can also use their passes to travel
free on cross-boundary journeys in and out of England, provided the
journey starts or finishes in Wales"

There are similar extensions for some journeys to Scotland that start
or finish in England to/from Northumberland or Carlisle. Examples
Newcastle-Jedburgh, Carlisle-Gretna
