Can I apply for an appeal if, I am awaiting a resit / re-attempt?

No, you cannot lodge an appeal until the official mark of the resit is published.

Can I apply for an appeal I am awaiting results from a revision of paper?

No, results from a revision of paper cannot be appealed against as the process itself entails that the assessment is blind-marked by an external examiner.
