Moving media from TLD to Standalone
Does logically moving of media from TLD to Standalone can prevent NBU from writing backups on it? If yes, what is the reason behind since its only logical and the tape is still present in the library...

Best to physically eject the tapes to ensure that NBU and robot inventory is the same.
If someone Inventoried the robot after you have moved it to Standalone, NBU would be updated again with actual location. What does NBU media GUI show this morning as far as media location is concerned?
Another way to prevent more backups to tapes is to suspend the media - either from media GUI (right-click, Suspend) or from cmd: bpmedia -suspend -m <media-id>.
