The "todo file" expression suggests organizational problems. When
I began to use org-mode I also kept a todo file, but it's a
misunderstading of Org.
You don't need to keep your todos in a separate file. You should
keep everything in files thematically and toggle the TODO keyword
on the header right there in the natural context of the task.
Org will take care of scanning of your files and pick up your TODO
entries.
This way if you are done with an item you don't have to "move it
out of your agenda and todo file", because it's already there
where it belongs, you can add notes to it there and it will
disappear from the agenda if you toggle the item to DONE state.
