I don’t think applying to TCs is really any different from applying to VSs.Regarding previous interaction with firms - my personal experience is that it doesn’t matter that much. I hadn’t previously met (before applying to) any of the 3 firms that subsequently offered me TCs. My takeaway from that is that open days, events etc are great for assessing whether the firm is the right fit for you, and gleaning information to strengthen your applications. But if you already have a strong application, I don’t think it will count against you if you haven’t previously met the firm before. I hope that gives you some reassurance
