The TCAS relies on the transponders, which we already know was shut off on the MH plane. I'm not familiar with what an ATC sees on their screens, but presumably the transponder info is the main thing. Even if they do get a hit on radar extremely close to the other plane, with no transponder data they may just pass it off as glitch or something. Especially if they have other planes taking off and landing, they might be inclined to not pay as much attention to a plane just passing through their airspace. This is just speculation though, I'm not familiar enough with what ATC systems show you or what their protocols might be.
Either way, it sounds like the plane went north-northwest, not northwest, assuming the latest info given to the media is correct.
