If I use my VPN, say that I choose Slovakia.
Then I want to use Tor, will Tor see my first entry point in Slovakia?
Or will Tor operate separate to my VPN?

You would start your VPN, then start Tor. Tor runs through your VPN.

The Tor entry node would see your Slovakia exit VPN node.

Seems safe enough but consider this: If you are using a paid VPN, and
that payment is tied to your real world identity, and you don't
anonymize your payment, then in theory your traffic can be traced
directly back to you.

If you use Tor alone, only the Tor entry node knows your IP but not the
content or the destination of your traffic. Neither the Tor middle
node, nor the exit node knows your IP, and if using HTTPS as you should,
then your traffic is encrypted.
