I countersigned U.K. Passport forms online for a friends kids, I was emailed by the Passport Office to verify I had known the kids, from what I remember they accepted my signature for the first child, renewal but rejected it for the second one for some reason, it was his first Passport.

i should explain further that he was born in Bangkok, has never been out of the country but I did register his birth at the British Embassy. He has a certificate of registration but Im not sure if this equates to a birth certificate

I have never used this company, so this is no a 'recommendation', but there is some very useful information for you on this page - especially if you scroll down to "Documents Required" near the bottom of the page.

Yes.  Obviously the child's birth certificate (translated) is important.  But to prove eligibility for a UK passport, the child's British parent needs to produce their long-form birth certificate. I think the OP is aware of what's required now.
