If one were to make accounts that violated lots of subreddits' rules and got banned from random subreddits, then do it again with further accounts to get them suspended for ban evasion, could you someone use these to get a third party suspended by either:
-
convincing them to log into an account with provided login credentials?
-
somehow attach your own browser id/ip and reddit cookie information to a link and have them click it?
Maybe I'm just but I'm not sure how automated you could make this process so it would be way easier.

lol no. First idea could be an alright (if extremely convoluted) way to get people banned, though. Just keep in mind that in the "account activity" section they'll easily be able to see your IP address and User-Agent, so make sure to use a VPN and maybe even a User-Agent Switcher. The best way to get people banned is still to just use pushshift to search up naughty words on their accounts (r-slur, BIPOC, cute twink, etc), report them, and hope whoever monitors reports speaks English as a second language (which they probably do).

Is there a way to prepare the link so when they click it the fields are already filled in and initiating the process of logging in?

Sites where you have to sign in with an e-mail address wil often send you a link through your e-mail that will automatically sign you in but there's a few major problems with that
Reddit doesn't do that
Even if Reddit did do that, it's checked with cookies (precisely to stop people from clicking links sent to them by strangers and automatically logging into a sketchy account)
Even if it didn't check cookies, it wouldn't work on people who are already signed in (who you're targeting)
Who knows if they would even get banned for ban evasion? Even if you use the same IP, never clear your cookies or cache, get half a dozen accounts banned. etc, etc, there's still a good chance you won't get IP banned, so there's very little chance that somebody who logs into an account and then presumably immediately logs out will get IP banned (which they can still easily avoid).
The only useful thing you could do by getting somebody to log into a Reddit account (the best tactic of which is probably pretending the password leaked and hoping they an inquisitve individual) is getting their IP and User Agent, which you could much more easily do and get much more information from by sending them to either a site you own or an IP grabber site. Like I said, the best way to get somebody banned is by reporting old comments of theirs with slurs in them, no matter the context; in fact the owner of the original pushshift search site had to remove the ability to search by user since it was so effective in getting people banned and so many power mods were being banned.
