Row 1: in a statement reported after a past reporting verb, "will" shifts to "would", "you" becomes "me" and "tomorrow" becomes "the next day". So the correct form is "Tom told me he would call me the next day." The sentence with "will" and "tomorrow" keeps the direct-speech forms. Row 2: in a reported question the word order is that of a statement (no inversion and no "did"), and the Past Simple shifts to the Past Perfect. So the correct form is "She asked him where he had left his keys." The sentence with "where did he leave" keeps the question word order.
