It's not clear what you're doing. First of all get rid of the shell script and just use awk.

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a[$0]; next} {for(x in a) {if($0 ~ x) {print $1, $2, x}}}' FS='#' list.txt testfile.txt

Your example said you need $1, $2 from test file and $0 from list file and I have provided the code for the same.

If you want to print $3 as well from test file
Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a[$0]; next} {for(x in a) {if($0 ~ x) {print $1, $2, $3, x}}}' FS='#' list.txt testfile.txt

This should be more efficient:
Code:
awk -F"[# ]" 'NR==FNR{a[$1]=$1;next}$NF in a {print $1, $2, a[$NF]}' list.txt testfile.txt

Hi Franklin...you are correct
But the reason why I went with this approach is - since there are select statements with joins at the end, the table we are searching for need not be the last one in query. Below is an example.
Code:
name2#place2#data2#select * from table3 innerjoin table 10
