After a week, Tom had well and truly worn out his welcome. = You can't be here when Tom arrives. [?]

Are you asking if they mean the same or are linked in some way?
I don't see a link between the two, and they don't mean the same. The sentence above (4685132) means that the people Tom is staying with are a bit fed up with him being there. I explained the meaning of the other one, namely that the speaker wants the person being spoken to to vanish before Tom arrives.
Did I understand your query correctly?

Ok then.
Thank you, patgfisher.
