Is the BFF Magic Missile basic action considered a "functional repirnt" of the new ToA Magic Missile.

BFF Magic Missile reads

"Deal 2 damage to target character or player.
** Deal extra damage to a character equal to the level of your highest level adventurer in the field.
Global: Pay bolt. Deal 1 damage to a character."

Tomb of Annihlation Magic Missile reads

Deal 2 damage to target character die or player.
** Deal extra damage to a character equal to the level of your highest level adventurer in the field.
Global: Pay bolt. Deal 1 damage to a character."

Am I correct to assume that this is a functional reprint and thus legal in Modern play?

You're correct.

All 3 printings of Magic Missile are legal while 1 of them is legal, since they're functionally identical reprints. The rotation FAQ mentions this rule:
