Is there any way that 4th place would get us straight into CL without a qualifier -depending on who wins FAcup/ other CL league places?

no.

unfortunately not mate, it used to be 3rd and 4th into a qualifier and just 1st and 2nd automatically into the group stage but they changed it recently to allow the top 3 straight into the group stage and 4th into a 2 leg play off to get there. they also changed the rule regarding a team winning the champs league but finishing outside the champs league places in the league as if this happened then 4th place would then become a europa league place and only the top 3 teams and the champs league winner that finished outside the top4 would qualify. (simply put the maximum teams 1 country can have is 4) this was brought in following the scousers debacle a few years back.
