Honestly, from my experience it just takes practice. Switch classes for the situation (e.g. if your Engies keep being harassed by Spies, go Pyro), and just try different techniques. Over time you'll get more weapons and be able to make nice custom loadouts to fit your playing style. Studying others while you're dead (or hey, just be a spectator sometimes) can also help with getting used to general techniques.
I'd also say teamwork, but that's a bit hard if you're not playing with friends (which is like 99.9% of the time). Personally, I just try and fill any unused class, to play any offensive/defensive roles the team might be missing.
That said, after using a max FPS config I managed to get TF2 running (barely) playably smooth on this PC (averaging about 20 FPS with all players on screen?). It's still too laggy/jiggy to actually have proper fun though, especially in tense or high-action situations.
Guess I'll have to leave it until I get a better PC :\
