can i travel on biometric card while my UK passport application is being processed ?

No, a BRP is NOT a travel document. You need a passport to travel and you have to submit your foreign passport with your British passport application.

Suggest you wait till you return to apply for your British Passport.

Can i travel after taking oath having naturalization certificate with me and apply for passport after i come back from trip ?

Will immigration let me in to UK with BRP or Naturization certificate is necessary ?
can we still use BRP as visa doc for travel if already got my Naturalization certificate?

Yes, you should be fine to travel and return. Carry passport, BRP and naturalisation certificate with you.
