1) If you fill up at Lydd when you don't need to, you end up getting re-fuelled duty free, and are therefore unable to claim for the rest of the fuel in the tank. You lose out.
The drawback rule is for exported fuel so theoretically you can claim duty back on every drop you export irrespective of where you bought it.
In practice most pilots simply submit their last invoice and hope its for a lot. I am not sure how you can claim for a full tank. Maybe submit the last two invoices together with the relevant bit of the POH showing tank capacity with a supplementary affidavit from the ground crew saying it was sloshing out the top of the tanks?
