As is often the case, the culprits are stray spaces introduced at the ends of lines. And because of the nature of the token list, which gets added to the tabular at the end of the process, all those stray spaces get added before the token list gets dumped, meaning, all are added as leading padding to cell (1,1).
In this case, the fix not only meant adding some % at line ends inside your macro definitions, but it also meant incorporating ignorespaces into the definition of topic, since every time you invoked topic, stray spaces were introduced as part of your input stream, as well.
I also generalized mytabular to take the formatting as an argument.

Thank you. Your specific suggestions solved my MWE, but not my original problem exactly. However, they led me in the right direction to find other stray spaces and deal with them accordingly. (I have other O/T reasons for not including the tabular formatting as an argument).
