May I ask also how possible item level of drops is determined?
I love to farm Council and it is stated that they are all 85 lvl / 78 TC and Mephisto is 87 lvl. And I do get Dracul's regularly from them (84 ilvl according to google). Does it mean that I can also safely hope to get Griffon (84 ilvl) or Templar's Might (82 ilvl) just farming Council and Mephisto?

If you farm in area lvl 85 you will find plenty of mobs with TC87 that can drop high end items like: The Griffon, TM, Death Fathom, etc

Short answer: ilvl = mlvl (item level is equal to monster level, the mob which drops the item)

Short answer: no, you can't get Griff and green TM to drop from Travi.
That's because, in order for a specific unique item to drop, the monster has to be able to drop the base item (diadem, for Griff, Sacred armor for both TM's, both with qlvl = 85), that is one of the checks that the game engine performs when choosing what to drop. If that check fails, no Griff / TM for you .
Additionally, Griff and TM are in TC87 armor, and council members from Travi and Dura 3 can only drop from TC78.
If you want to have them, the best option is to buy them (trade or item shop). If you want to get them to drop for your own prestige, stick to area level 85, as @Atox mentioned. You can actually get both from unique packs with Alvl = 82, champion and unique packs from Alvl = 83, 84, but it is less likely than Alvl 85.
Gambling can also be a viable option, a good number of people have gotten Griff from gambling starting with last season, since the chance of gambling unique items has been increased.

I googled yesterday this: https://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Treasure_Classes

So, I was confused with monster level and treasure class being different things. If I understood correctly now, items from TC87 can't drop from monsters with lower TC even though the level of these monsters is sufficient, right? Now I see why top-top items won't drop from Travincal...

p.s. Yeah, actually buying the item sounds like the best option But I want to drop smth big myself also...
