It seems to me that these are two different issues. If you want 
the TODO list in the org-agenda to show your headlines you can 
configure the view to show breadcrumbs (and order by category):

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq org-agenda-prefix-format
        '((agenda . " %i %-12:c%?-12t% s")
          (timeline . "  % s")
          (todo . " %i %-12:c%-24:b")
          (tags . " %i %-12:c")
          (search . " %i %-12:c")))

  (setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy
        ((agenda habit-down time-up priority-down category-keep)
         (todo category-keep)
         (tags priority-down category-keep)
         (search category-keep)))

#+END_SRC

Now, if you want to narrow the agenda (C-c a) or org-sparse-tree 
(C-c /) to show TODO items not SCHEDULED or DEADLINE'd use the key 
'm' and the following match:

-SCHEDULED={.+}-DEADLINE={.+}+TODO="TODO"

Best,
