Tofu absorbs whatever you put it in, or put into it, so you can eat it with just about anything; pastas, soups, salads, sauces, etc. If you get silken tofu, you can use it to make a creamy sauce. And yes, you can use tvp for burgers. Use egg whites as an emulsifier. There are several varieties of soy burgers. Most brands have several different flavors, and some of them have dairy/egg, some don't. I've had good luck with vegan burgers. I think Boca makes a vegan burger or two. Just be sure to check the ingredients, as I'm sure you already know, even in the vegan ones.
