If you are only considering the simplified problem with a triangle and constant speed vectors of the target and torpedo.

Even then there will be a small difference due to the periscope or uzo being 35 metres behind the torpedo. But IIRC the TDC did take that into account.

But did the TDCs of the era take all that into account?

I think so, but based on average preprogrammed value. There were no input settings for that.
In general, commanders knew that and thus simply minimized the error getting close and trying to hit the broadside, as a minor deviation on a 150 metres long hull at 90º can still mean a hit.
