if i input data (AOB + speed) into the tdc and set it to auto and then change course and speed, will this mess up the solution?
No. Only if the target changes course and speed will your solution be messed up.

im find tryin to figure out AOB at night is impossible so my idea is to set up the tdc in daytime then when night falls, turn towards the convoy and attack. will this method work?
That's actually what the germans preferred to do. They did the end around during daylight keeping the top of the convoys masts in sight above the horizon and carefuly observing enemy course and speed by comparison to their own one. Then they waited the convoy in the chosen spot and attacked by night, setting mainly the values they had collected by day if visibility wasn't good enough for double checking.
