I think you are mixing up the two ways of using the variable.  From the
help (view it by doing C-h v org-agenda-custom-commands) the two ways
are:

(key desc type match settings files)

(key desc (cmd1 cmd2 ...) general-settings-for-whole-set files)

Therefore, I think if you are aiming for the first version you would use
tags-todo in place of todo and merge the category clause into the todo
keyword clause and it should give you what you want.
