Yes, TM will backup the other drive.
You may want to do a bit of research to determine whether you really want to move your home folder. Many report that this works fine, but there are some reports of problems (e.g., software update getting confused if the home folder is not on the startup volume). There are alternatives--you can leave the home folder where it is and set up data folders (for media files, etc.) on other drives.

Is there any way to have the Desktop not located in the Home folder, that's a bit of a sticking point with me.
The bigger issue though is FileVault. I like how Time Machine and FileVault work together to make automatically encrypted backups.

Naw, the desktop needs to be in your home folder. Not sure why this is an issue for you?
