hi,
I've discovered org-agenda-prefix-format, but can't figure out how to
add a tab-stop after every todo-item. So basically that the headlines
are aligned regardless of the character-length of the todo-item. My
current setup looks like this:
(setq org-agenda-prefix-format
'(
(agenda . " %?-12t% s")
(timeline . " % s")
(todo . " %i %-12:c")
(tags . " %i %-12:c")
(search . " %i %-12:c"))
but messing around with the -12 variable doesn't seem to change
anything. Probably missing something.

i am not understanding what you are trying to do. do you have headers
before other columns? are you perhaps looking for
org-agenda-todo-keyword-format ? or is it the prefix format that is
varying for you?

Here's how it looks vs. how I want it to look https://imgur.com/a/5YfTeZh
I tried messing around with tabstops in the headlines, but realized
quickly that the level of headline (I think) has an influence over the
number of tabstops in org-agenda. So basically you have to vary the
amount of tabstops per headline, to get a uniform layout in the
org-agenda view. So a more elegant solution would be to specify a
layout for org-agenda-view, that determines the position of todo-items
and the text immediately following them.
