Let's say I want to remove some lens dust in PS from my raw files before doing any other editing.
When I then go to edit these photos (now TIFF) in LR, my edits and presets look different.
What can I do to work around this?

It really sucks compared to what you can do in PS.. doesn't cut it sometimes

Are you exporting in a different colorspace maybe?

and this is the TIF, with the same settings.
the TIF is darker and is more saturated.

Make sure the colorspace settings are the same in LR and PS.
Also clean your lens once in a while, don't be a slob with a disgusting camera.

This is completely normal.
TIFF is a normal image format.
It contains all the information a program needs to display it.
So it should look similar in any software unless it has some bug.
Raw is unprocessed.
There is a lot of room for interpretation on how to show it. (for example: what white balance to use, which tone curves, how to convert the Bayer pixels to RGB)
So it will often look different in different software.
Unless Photoshop and Lightroom are set up to interpret raw files the exact same way you will have differences.
But what should work for you: import to Ligtroom -> export to TIFF -> open in Photoshop -> import edited file in Lightroom.
