If a defendant entered the house of the victim and tied her up, before stealing some items, would the charge be straightforward robbery? or is burglary also involved, since the defendant had entered as a tresspaser with the intent to steal?
please help...

Burglary in defined by local laws, but generally, the charge might include burglary (breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felon therein, [at night, in some jurisdictions]), unless the door was open as well as kidnapping/false inprisonment and also robbery. Whether or not the defendant was tresspassing doesn't have anything to do with a burglary charge, generally.
Seek the advice of a lawyer in your area for legal advice.

I think it would definitely be robbery or it could be grand Larceny if the value of the stuff was over $10,000 and probably assault for holding her against her will..
I think you better get a lawyer asap

How about a dead robber, by self defense, sounds good to me.

It is cumulative.
