Who Wins

Pre-6 you and Vayne lose a direct 2v2 if Lux lands E — your E shield helps but does not fully negate the burst from Tristana's W follow-up, and your own damage output pre-6 is not high enough to trade back effectively.
Post-6 your R fundamentally changes the lane: a well-aimed R through both enemies sets up a kill that Vayne can close with R active, and Tristana has no reliable way to escape a charmed state.

Your best trading pattern is to poke with Q whenever Tristana and Lux stack, use E proactively to shield Vayne before Lux's E lands rather than reactively, and save R for when Lux commits her E+Q combo — catching both enemies in R after they've used their CC means they have no follow-up and Vayne can freely stack W.
Do not use R as an opener from max range without Vayne being ready to follow immediately.

You should generally not roam — Vayne is extremely vulnerable to a 2v1 from Tristana if you leave, and your R is most valuable in the bot lane 2v2 context where it can hit both enemies.
If you do roam, only do so after shoving the wave under their tower and confirming Vayne is safe behind tower with vision on the enemy jungler.

Do not spam Q for poke at the cost of missing E shields on Vayne during Lux's engage windows — Lux's E+Q into Tristana W is fast enough that if your E is on cooldown, Vayne takes full burst and the lane is lost.
Prioritize reactive shielding over proactive poke whenever Lux is within her E range.
