No. TDMA and GSM are two different technologies. You would need a GAIT phone (from ATTWS or Cingular) to be able to pick up GSM and TDMA signals with the same phone. Triband from TMo is probably 900/1800/1900 GSM.

Correct, any triband phone from T-Mobile USA normally is GSM 900/1800/1900 since T-Mobile uses nothing but 1900 across the country.
