The piece you are missing is probably \line, which you
need in order to group elements in just one line of the column.

\version "2.22.2"

{
  \tempo \markup \left-column {
    "Allegro moderato"
    \line {
      \fontsize #-3 \general-align #Y #-0.8 \note {4} #1
      \smaller "die etwa 108 M.M."
    }
  }
  c'
}

(that page of the documentation was improved in 2.23, but
the text there will work in 2.22 too).
