Combining trombone 3 and tuba parts is just a cheap way to save printing a page of music. I don't like it and it can cause confusion.

At rehearsal letter B, is the tuba muted?

I think I agree. This will be the only piece of music for the entire Christmas Pops concert series that requires mute. Arghh!

Yes, and had they not been so lazy and printed separate parts, this question would not have arisen.
