Do you need a Zone 1-2 travelcard if you travel on the tube through
zone 1, but never leave the train. E.G. Highbury and Islington to
Camden Town (victoria through kings cross to euston, northern to
Camden Town), or Hammersmith to East Acton via Earls Court, high
street kensington, notting hill gate?

If you can find a route that doesn't involve zone 1/2 then you can
travel the above and then if you get any trouble then just claim you
took the other route.
I of course have NEVER done this. And DONT encourage it. Im just stating
that its possible.

As others have said, you'll need a Travelcard to cover all zones you pass
through by Tube. However, you could still use a Zone 2 only Travelcard on
the buses in Zone 1 and in all the other zones too. If you are trying to
keep your travel costs down, then bus only passes represent the best
deal.

You SHOULD have a travelcard 1 + 2 for the Camden journey via Zone 1. I
don't think there are any interchange barriers at Euston, so I'm not sure if
you actually NEED one.

The barriers you would be using are zone 2 only.

H&I to Camden Road on the North London line would be quicker, even allowing
an average 15m wait for a train.

AFAIAA, there are no interchange barriers at Euston - however, if the
travelling ticket inspectors are on (rare I know, but not unknown)
you'd be charged a Penalty Fare if caught in Zone 1 without validity.

Were this not the case, you'd be able to travel from one end of a line
to the other on a single-zone ticket or ODTC...

If both ends of a line are in the same zone. Surprisingly few are and
anyway, that's why tickets have coloured triangles.
