this question may sound a bit strange, but plz answer it nonetheless guys:
Did the Lavos we know (the one that destroys the world in 1999), know about the TD and wat it was going to do? If it did, why did it bother to desttroy the world when the TD can rip all time apart instead?

Not sure. First off, the TD does what his name implies: Devours all time. Allow me to bring a quote of our good friend Belthasar:
:
The Devourer of Time
is a new life-form...
Born out of the fusion of a
life-form from this planet with
Lavos, who nests on the far
side of the dimensional void.
Belthasar:
In the far-off future, when
the fusion becomes complete,
IT will awaken...
Belthasar:
Then, the Devourer of Time
will begin to consume all
space-time continua...
Despair and hatred...
To return all things to
nothingness...
That is what IT desires.
Simpley put, Belthasar says that in the far future, the TD will unleash and devour the very fabric of time, sending that moment into the Tesseract. He'll be pushed back to a former point and time, devour that, get pushed back... Until there's nothing left. Then it'll remain, all stuffed and happy, in the middle of nothingness.
There's a debate if the original Lavos knew about this. It's possible Lavos plotted his downfall to "evolve" into his next form. I think otherwise, though. I think that while he was dying in the Tesseract, Schala chanced upon him. A very small amount of energy remained in the pendnet, too small to open a door or chest, even, but enough to draw her closer to Lavos. She then became one with the shell, and after they "devoured" the Dragon God, they became this:
