Who Wins

Pre-6 you and Tristana win the 2v2 if you land E, because the burst combo with Tristana's W follow-up outdamages what Vayne and Seraphine can output in a short trade — however, Seraphine's E shield and passive healing mean you need to land E cleanly, not just throw it out.
Post-6, Seraphine's R outranges and outscales your engage tools, and Vayne's R makes sustained fights heavily favor them.

Your trading pattern should be E onto both enemies when they stack, immediately Q to root, then let Tristana W in for the burst — your R should be saved for kill confirmation or to interrupt Seraphine's R channel, not used as an opener.
If you use R first, you lose your follow-up chain and Tristana has no safe window to engage.

You should roam when the wave is shoved into their tower and Tristana can safely freeze or back — your R has enough range and damage to influence mid lane meaningfully, especially against immobile mid laners.
Avoid roaming when Vayne is unwarded or when Tristana is low, as Vayne can easily 1v1 Tristana without your peel.

Do not stand at a predictable angle where Seraphine can land her Q poke on both you and Tristana simultaneously — Seraphine's Q has a bounce mechanic that rewards you clustering, and repeated poke will force you out of lane before you can execute your combo.
Positioning slightly offset from Tristana denies Seraphine free double-hit poke.
