http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18953 Tool list. Also Hypercam can record TS I guess it works for RA2 as well. Audacity comes in handy for sound editing it can also convert into WAV so you can use XCC for converting into AUD.
The forum is full of helpful advice and with the search function you can find answers for many questions fast and easy.

XCC tools, Voxel Editor, SHP Editor, a 3D Modeling program capable of rendering, and GIMP - those are the tools which go onto a new computer when I decide to use it for modding.

Although many people seem to go for more extensive lists, those seem to me to be the requirements for modding every visual aspect of the game.
As OrangeNero says, Audacity is a good sound tool. And if you're looking for a free, open-source music creation tool then the Linux Multimedia Studio is good (Generally referred to as LMMS, and comes in Windows and Mac variants).
For code, Notepad and Wordpad are both standard options, and come with nearly all Microsoft OS's.
After that, my knowledge is threadbare, as at that point we get into the tools for Assembly and C++ and such - things I have not tried with any success.

For coding, I suggest Notepad ++

I do believe there's a template for TS/RA2 for blender. I can't find it atm, though.

The rendering options are all listed there. Not a template, but more than nothing and universal.
