You're right tofu itself doesn't have any taste that's why you can cook it in many different ways, it's a very versitile ingredient. About the texture it depends from the dish you're preparing, in fact it can be fried before to give it a crunchy texture and then mixed with the other ingredients.
Tofu is not only for vegetarians, in China, for example it's mixed with pork meat (mapu doufu) and it's a great dish.
TVP on the other hand has a plain taste but a meaty texture.
