My character (halfling, College of Swords bard) attracted the attention of the Raven Queen and is now (long story short) also a Warlock in her service. Up until this point, he was a bit of an adherent of Tymora. Does that tend to continue? Is there a conflict between being a warlock serving a Patron and also a (non-cleric/paladin) worshiper of a deity? Their domains of the two aren't necessarily in conflict, but also aren't particularly aligned. Beyond the obvious answers of "however you want to play it" and "however the DM rules", how does this tend to work?
There's no need to abandon your old god for a new patron unless you want it to. There are canon instances of priest(esses) serving two gods at the same time as clerics.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
Also, it really depends on whether there is a conflict of interest. If your pact says "forcibly and cruelly convert any elves you find into moving into the shadow fell and "becoming" Shadar Kai, your allegience with Tyr the god of justice might become a bit strained.

Think of the Forgotten Realms as a Pantheon universe. service to multiple deities is normal. Lip service to nearly all is expected.
