Is it possible to melt a tryptic soy agar slant to make a tryptic soy broth?

No. Agar is a solid at room temperature and would just become solid again. A TSB does not contain agar and therefore can be liquid at room temperature.

So that you can be sure that the results are due only to one specific species.
What is tryptic soy agar used for?
I'm not sure about Tryptic Soya Agar but where I work we regularly use Tryptic Soya Broths (TSB). All our samples are human tissue samples and they are placed in a small bottle containing the TSB solution. These are then sent for testing. So I imagine Tryptic Soya Agar would be used for similar purposes except of course it would be a solid jelly in a dish and would have to be swabbed with the sample. They're basically just food for any bacteria or fungi that are present.

If you strongly suspect a nutrient agar slant culture is contaminated what method would you use to ascertain whether you are right or not?
You have to make subculture from this slant and after incubation you can observe how many types of microorganisms are present in the nutrient agar slant. If you have one colony shape so you have a pure nutrient agar slant but if you have more than one type of colonies so the nutrient agar slant is contaminated.
