I could not find a "tag-todo" anywhere in the manual. Are you referring
to the "tags-todo" search discussed in the documentation for
org-agenda-custom-commands? If so, this search returns all active TODOs
that match a given tag.

(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook 
	  (lambda ()
	    (when (string-match org-looking-at-done-regexp state)
	      (org-archive-subtree-default))))

I assume you mean:

,----
| * blabla
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ARCHIVE_TIME: 2010-03-23 Tue 20:10
|   :ARCHIVE_CATEGORY: blaaahhh
|   :END:
`----

If you want to avoid the context properties, use the following setting:

(setq org-archive-save-context-info nil)

Best,
