Dear Subbuji,
It appears to me that the Prasthantraya division was first suggested by Sri Madhusudana Sarasvati.
As regards the Bhagavadgita bhshya it appears to me that it was probably written by the great scholar Sri Vidyashankara, who was born 81 (or is it 76) yeas after the passing away of Sri Ramanujacharya. Sri Vidyashankara wrote the Bhagavad Gita bhashya to establish it as an advaitic text by refuting the Vishishtadvaita interpretation in the Bhagavadgitabhashya of Sri Ramanujacharya.
Regards,
skb

Dear friends,
I have a couple of querries :
1. Where was the first mention of the Sanskrit
phrase"Prashthanatraya" ?
Difficult to trace; it is not in
Shankara's bhāṣya though.
2, Did anywhere Adi Shankaracharya say that he was the first
to write a bhashya on the Bhagavad Gita?
No. On the other hand, he has said
in the introduction to the Bh.gita bhashya that there have
been many commentaries to it before him.

3, Did anywhere Sri Ramanuja and Sri Madhvacharya say that
they were writing the Bhagavad Gita bhashya to refute the
views in Adi Shaankaracharya's bashya on the Bhagavad
Gita.
No idea.

What I find is that from the linguistic considerations some
scholars found that the composition in the so-called
Bhagavad Gitabhashya of Adi Shankaracharya is different from
the literary style of Adi Shankarachrya's other
compositons. I personally feel that had it been Adi
Shankaracharya's composition, he would have written a
bhshya on the original Bhagavad Gita of 745 verses, which
has the ajativada verse (verse of non-creation), which
Gaudapadacharya included in his Mandukya karika.
