I use a similar setup. As I understand if you want items to
appear on the date they are due you have to use the daily agenda.

So I use a custom agenda which shows the agenda items and the
todo list together:


(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("h" "My Agenda & TODO"
         ((agenda "")
          (alltodo "home")))))

The agenda part is empty if there are no due items today and the
regular todo items are under it.

Invoke the agenda with M-1 prefix to show items only for today.
It can be assigned to a keyboard macro, of course.
