Is it better to tack architrave to the door/window casing or drill
and plug the sorrounding wall?

Tack it to the door frame. If it's narrow, it will only *just*
overlap the brick/plaster - so there's no scope for fixing to that.

Most architrave is 2-3" wide. Gripfil gives you time to line up the
mitres properly. I can't see that any other fixing is required

3" is bl**dy wide for architrave - my skirting boards are only 3"!

Most of the acrchitraves in my house are a bit under 1 1/4" so, when fitted
to a 1" wide frame 1/4" back from the inner edge, there is about 3/4" on the
frame and 1/2" extending over the frame/plaster joint. There's no problem
lining up the mitres - just fit the verticals before cutting the mitres on
the horizontal bit at the top.
