TMTO is nothing a defender can chose. It's only a setting for the attacker. The attacker can reduce the calculation time by using more memory. You very likely should not touch the value automatically chosen by hashcat. Furthermore you don't want to "look at the speed of scypt with TMTO". You just want to crack the hash.
The scrypt parameters are not related to any TMTO.
