I think, but am not sure, that the ECN flight is considered international, so we don't have to go through passport control, we just got straight to gate.

Would be very grateful for advice/guidance please. Thanks.
I am not sure about the specifics of the ECN flight (although I think you are right that you can go straight to the gate). But there are also multiple flights to ECN. As long as you are booked on one ticket, TK will just rebook you onto the next flight in case you misconnect.
