Oops. I misunderstood your request. What you are describing is org-mode's default behavior---i.e., to show all todos with deadlines in the todo list, but only to show deadlines in the agenda when they are within org-deadline-warning days. To ensure this behavior, you'll want to make sure that org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines is set to nil (the default). All todos with deadlines will then appear in your todo list.
