Will doing this effect the actual, live data on the production server,

By covertly sharing the real tape library inventory, you're playing
with fire, as the test TSM goes to use "expired" tapes for database
backups and any other server scheduled or triggered events.  That
server may also adjust the settings of tapes in the library, out of
sync with what the real server is doing.  Interesting situations may
result.
