When synthetic duvets go flat do they maintain their tog rating heat retention? Or is it the 'fluffed up-ness' air pockets that do that?

Time to buy a new one.

Can you ruin the tog-ness of feather duvets by lying on top of them, rather than getting inside. Do feathers break?

under. not 'inside'

Why is staying under the duvet on the day you have to get up early so appealing?

Staying under the duvet is appealing any day!

Especially when you're dying for a wee!

Especially when wakened by a cat at 5am daily. She has a litter tray- she only wants to explore the great outdoors- she can but not at that hour- I need my beauty sleep- I know I would never get up!

I have a 'flat' polyester duvet and have cut it up and sewn around each piece to make a mattress for DS2's dog. They are small enough to be washed in the machine and three of them in an outer cover will make her very comfy in her crate/bedroom.
I can't say whether a flat duvet is warm or not but at least old ones can be reused.
