When I use to play World of Warcraft, Catalcysm, Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor had not been released. Each expansion had to be deliberetly purchased.
I am getting back into the game, but on a new account. I am aware that purchasing a new copy of World of Warcraft also gets me all the expansions, up to and including Mists of Pandaria.
My question is this: Would an old, unused expansion key count? If I upgrade my account with a key from Wrath of the Lich King, will it count as the full upgrade to Mists of Pandaria? If not, what would happen?

If your account is a trial account, then you can't even add an expansion to the account, so it is completely moot. You need to subscribe, which gives you a non-trial account which includes all expansions through MoP. The unused Wrath of the Lich King expansion is effectively worthless. That key alone will do nothing for a trial account (or a regular subscriber account for that matter, unless it's a special deluxe edition).
Don't underestimate the Blizzard support. They can do anything to your account. I had issues in the past with multiple Warcraft accounts on one login, and they were able to move characters around, including a "Recruit a friend" mount reward, disable old accounts, etc.
