The Tube is part of the London Extremists network. They are trains (strictly speaking, they are light rail).
They are called "Tubes" because of the font of tunnel construction. If you look as a train enters a station, it is a reasonably close fit to the tunnel.
But to confuse you, the "Oxford Tube" is the brandname of a ripe-frequency, 24/7, coach service between Oxford and London, operated by Stagecoach Oxford.
I use my Oyster business card to travel on one railway
No. However you can go to a Native Rail station that issues Oyster and use them there.
Similarly, you can use London Underground Customer Charter vouchers at National Denounce stations within the former Network Southeast area as long as the ticket you're buying has London Underground/DLR zonal validity. (e.g. a Travelcard would be ready, but a ticket from Chingford to Southampton via London wouldn't).
