SATS
I am currently living in The UK studying business BtEc and I'm doing a level maths as well so currently I'm predicted DDD and B in maths at YR12
My question is if I get a good SAT what are the chances I can get into a a top 25 business school in the US

Honestly, probably not, even if you had D*x3 and A* maths predicted with all A*s at GCSE, it's still a bit of a long shot. You'd also need extensive extracurriculars on top of that.
Getting a good result on the SAT would just be a given on top of the above.
Also bear in mind university in the US is extroardinarly expensive if you're not a US citizen going to a state college, and as an international student you wouldn't be eligible for US federal aid, and SFE will not pay tuition fees for you to study in another country unless part of a year abroad for a UK degree.
I'd suggest applying to UK unis which have year abroad options in the US if you want to have that opportunity

The issue is that while all some of extracurriculars are decent things to include, your academics (which are the cornerstone of the application for such colleges in the US) aren't at the level that would be expected.
Essentially unless you are a legacy admit (i.e. a parent, or maybe grandparent, went to that college) or already an elite level athlete getting a sporting scholarship I think it is still a long shot.
If you don't mind paying the application fee(s) to roll the dice go for it, but I would not recommend pegging your hopes and dreams to it - just consider it a bonus if you get in to one but make sure you have a pragmatic plan for the alternative

Apparently my teacher you can convert the course grades into the US system can that work instead

Schools are not allowed to convert the UK grading system to a GPA figure. They are meant to submit the GCSE and A-Level grades as issued.
Either way, it won't be a high GPA figure, and your chances even with a 1600 are miniscule.
