* may I point out that you're using "execute" when you don't need to.
* you're already in ex mode; no need to use colons to do ex mode commands
* ctrl-w_l can be performed with wincmd l .
* to perform normal mode commands in a function, use norm! (the
exclamation prevents any maps from interfering)
So, with these points in mind:
fun! TodoListMode()
e ~/.todo.otl
wincmd l
norm! zMzr
Calendar
endfun
Now, I confess that I didn't test this...

Thanks for the pointers!
I ended up with this, which doesn't use any normal commands at all ironically.
function! TodoListMode()
e ~/.todo.otl
Calendar
wincmd l
set foldlevel=1
endfunction
Thanks for the help though, it works just as one would hope now!
