Scenario 1....

Severe clear weather from point A to point B going east. MRA is 7000 in
which part of this area is below ATC radar coverage from past experience.
Highest OROCA enroute is 2600, filing is direct from airport to airport.

If I filed "VFR on top" /G for 3500, would I be legal to file this plan
since I would be able to maintain visual flight rules (VFR)?

Scenario 2.....

Throw in an active MOA to the above. I would assume that I would get
vectors or an amended clearance around the active MOA even though I am "VFR
on top". Would this be a correct assumption?

Of course it would be legal to file. But don't count on getting it g.

ATC may not (is not allowed to) issue you an off airway routing outside of
radar coverage and outside of NAVAID standard service areas. At least not
in the lower 48. There are some exceptions in Alaska, and it may someday
be possible to do this down here, too.
