When I think of "time lock," I think of something that traps people into a certain area and they can't get out. I see the Last Great Time War still happening in the Time Lock, but the war is confined in that Time Lock. The war won't spill out to other times or planets. After the Time Lock, the war slowly ended until there were only a few survivors

I'm working on a story where Tosh was always a Time Lady--she always had the knowledge, but her fobwatch wasn't discovered until after her death, and instead of dying, she regenerated slowly in the Torchwood Vault.
I LOVE THIS AND AM ADOPTING THIS AS MY HEAD CANON!!
I believe I've read that the 8th Doctor canon has the Doctor trying several times to make the change better--like the character in latest Time Machine movie who kept trying rescue his fiancee and making her death more horrible with each try. Eight is pursued by angry Time Lords who felt there were better ways and that he didn't have the right to make the final decision. I think the Time Lock was the best he could do, but not the only thing he did. I think/hope the Time Lords can break out.
Tosh was brilliant. She wss captured and imprisoned by UNIT when she discovered sonic technology that was similar to the Doctor's screwdriver.
I follow the dark canon where the Time Lords got kind of worse and worse so that locking them away was the greatest good. I mean, look at Rassilon, he is completely insane by this time, with no remorse at all for driving the Master mad or for nearly destroying the Earth

Isn't this canon? I mean, I can't think of any other way to interpret End of Time. Yes, there were a couple exceptions there, so there maybe could be others. But I thought the episode explicitly said that about the Time Lords in general.
How do you think the Time Lock works? Is it just an inescapable time loop or something else?
Either an inescapable time loop, or a zone where time slows almost to a halt from the perspective of anyone outside, rather like the event horizon of a black hole.
Do you believe that the Doctor decided to Time-Lock Gallifrey on his own, or do you think that he was following a certain battle plan?
The weapon was almost certainly someone else's invention; it's too indiscriminate to fit the Doctor. It was probably the only one he had that could conceivably affect Gallifrey.
I tend to go with the events of "End of Time," in which Rassilon was utterly insane and willing to destroy the universe in order to let the Time Lords live on as pure consciousness. He had been turning dissenters to stone, probably leaving them conscious, since that seemed to be his modus operandi even before he lost it. The Doctor, having only one useful weapon, was faced with a choice between time-locking Gallifrey and letting Rassilon take out the universe, and he
