My reading about TDP and Left alliance is slighly different from yours. TDP did not lose any IM vote of AP even when they are in NDA. No one counts the IM vote in HYD as it goes solidly to MIM and hence no competetion here.
The real reason for Left alliance in AP is they have about 5% of vote in AP and in some constituencies they can make or break the potential winner.
The Left already made a statement that they will go with congress irrespective of UPA - Left relations. As per them they will either go with congress or TDP but not alone. TDP is under pressure to cover the lost ground. They will not take risk and hence will go with Left.
Regarding TDP - NDA: They will support NDA after elections in case TDP comes back to power in the state.
