What do tớ and cậu mean here, and what kind of relationship do they suggest?

- speaking to a teacher

Why is đồng ý used instead of a single word for agree?
In Vietnamese, đồng ý is the normal expression for to agree.
- đồng = same / together
- ý = idea / opinion
Together, đồng ý literally gives the idea of sharing the same opinion, and in real usage it simply means agree or consent.
It functions as a verb phrase, so Tớ đồng ý = I agree / I agreed depending on context.
