Rosalind only worked for Comstock as he agreed to fund her research in return for her help in constructing Columbia and Robert only got involved through his interactions with Rosalind. This work continued as it simply benefitted Rosalind (as she got continued funding for her research) and Comstock (as he was able to obtain prophesies through tears and get Elizabeth). Despite having no real connection with Comstock, Rosalind never really wanted to send Elizabeth back home after bringing her through to Columbia. She only worked to send her back as Robert threatened to part ways with her if she didn't. When Comstock discovered this, he arranged for the machine they used to create tears to be destroyed with the two inside it. As a result, the two were scattered across time and space and could appear as they please.
Robert was not satisfied with how they had left the fate of Elizabeth though and that's why they brought through Booker and nudge him and Elizabeth in the right direction every now and then.
In Burial At Sea, (heads up, spoilers) the Lutece 'twins' are shown to have manipulated Daisy into helping 'lock in' Elizabeth's fate by giving her no choice but to kill Daisy and they also warn Elizabeth at the beginning of Episode 2 about what'll happen if she goes back to a world in which she has already died.
It was never about doing what's right or wrong with them, it was about Elizabeth's fate. (sorry for the lengthy answer (o.o') )
Why are there even 2 Bookers in one universe anyway?
The sole reason the two Bookers interact is because Comstock becomes sterile due to exposure to the tears and Comstock could no longer make his wife pregnant which ruined his prophecy. So he commissioned the Lutece twins to capture Elizabeth from an alternate version of himself so he could have his precious seed. What he didn't count on was Robert not liking the future Comstock intended for Elizabeth and so Robert and Rosalind bring the Booker they stole Elizabeth off of into their universe in order to change that.
Basically, the two Bookers in the same universe are the result of the Lutece's meddling.
When did they bring the player Booker into the Comstock universe? I don't remember going through a tear at the start of the game.
That's because Booker is heavily affected by coming through the tear and his memory rearranges and he passes out. The game begins when Booker begins to come to after this whilst he's in the boat. At the end of the game, when Elizabeth leads Booker through all the 'doors' at the end in the search for Comstock, you're shown this as part of his backstory. After the scene where baby Anna is taken to Columbia, there's a scene with Booker alone and a tear suddenly opens up with Robert standing on the other side. When you step through he immediately falls to the ground and Robert pulls you on board the little row boat.
