I use the following (tricky) settings, which should do what you have in
mind, if I'm not mistaken:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  ;; Don't show scheduled entries in the global `todo' list.
  (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future)

  ;; Don't show entries scheduled in the future in the global
  ;; `todo' list (until they are within the warning period).
  (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines 'near)

  ;; Honor `todo' list `org-agenda-todo-ignore...' options also
  ;; in the `tags-todo' list.
  (setq org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options t)
#+end_src

Best regards,
  Seb
