Answer 1

.Net Framework WinForms TableLayoutPanel has a lot of bugs with AutoScroll. It's better to avoid use this property. There is better solution. I hope they will be fixed in .Net Core WinForms version.

Answer 2

For shortcut :

tableLayoutPanel1.MaximumSize = new Size(tableLayoutPanel1.Width, tableLayoutPanel1.Height);
tableLayoutPanel1.AutoScroll = true;

Answer 3

The TableLayoutPanel is an example of a ScrollableControl. You can therefore set it's AutoScroll property to True and the control will automatically create scroll bars when it's preferred size exceeds its current size. This will provide you with the desired effect with minimal hassle.

Procedure

1. Set the MaximumSize property to a preferred maximum size or you can dock the TableLayoutPanel in your form.
2. Set the AutoScroll property of the TableLayoutPanel to true.

FYI:
The Panel, ToolStrip, FlowLayoutPanel, SplitterPanel, TableLayoutPanel, TabPage and ToolStripContentPanel all inherit the ScrollableControl class so this answer applies to them as well.
