Let’s say you have full control of Australia to Cape of Good Hope, is there way to collect officially in Nippon and unofficially in Cape of Good Hope?

Only thing that comes to mind is that I pirate my own node, Cape of Good Hope.

Putting a merchant there would too severely hurt all the trade I’m getting from my CNs in America.

you use a merchant in this case. Also remember that if you control 50% of the trade power (from provinces) of a trade company you get a bonus merchant or if you have a Colonial nation with 10+ provinces you also get a free merchant.

for cape of good hope just turn it into a TC and you should get the bonus merchant on the next month.

You want to place your trade capital in the place with most competition, and collect (or steer) in places where you have full or almost full control of the node. Ironically, this often means you don't want your home node to be the place you officially collect (unless it's an end node like Genoa or English Channel). Say you control entire Nippon trade node, there is no reason to place your trade capital there, just place a merchant and accept the -50% (you won't have much competition anyway).
