Did they add a runtime List<> and/or Map<> type class to typepad 1.0
No, providing a runtime is not the focus of the TypeScript team.
is there a solid library out there someone wrote that provides this functionality?

JavaScript / TypeScript now support this natively and you can enable them with lib.d.ts
