Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the 2v2 — Caitlyn's 650 range outpaces your 550, and Syndra's poke means you take sustained damage every time you step up to CS.
Post-6, your R gives you a reset-and-disengage tool and your level 6 all-in with Seraphine's R becomes a genuine kill threat, shifting the lane to roughly even with kill pressure on both sides.

Your best pattern is to wait for Seraphine's E root to land on Caitlyn, then jump in with your E and unload W-stacked autos into her — this bypasses Caitlyn's range advantage and forces her to burn her E or die.
Avoid short trades where Caitlyn can headshot you and back off; you need to commit to full all-ins where your burst can finish the kill.

Slow-push the wave by last-hitting and letting it build, then crash a large wave and look for a dive or roam with Seraphine — this denies Caitlyn her preferred fast-push lane priority and creates windows where you fight on your terms.
Under-tower CS is actually manageable for you since your E lets you jump to the tower and your W gives you attack speed to take plates.

Do not jump onto Caitlyn when her E is available and Syndra has her E ready — you will land in a trap, get netted back, and eat a full Syndra stun combo before you can deal meaningful damage.
Avoid using your R as an engage tool; it is your primary escape from Syndra's burst and Caitlyn's headshot, and burning it offensively often results in your death.
