I know torrenting over Tor is bad, because it steals bandwidth from those who really need it. But if I had qBittorrent (binded to Mullvad) running in the background and then started running Tor Browser, would that negatively affect the network?

as long as your traffic goes PC -> VPN -> Tor -> web server, there’s nothing really wrong with that. Instead of your ISP being able to tell you’re using Tor, it will be your VPN who knows that you’re using Tor. But there’s nothing really wrong with that.
What you should never do is PC -> Tor -> VPN/proxy -> web server.
