...Bobby turned his back on his entire family, including Tita...
That's not quite the sense I got.
Throughout, Tita seems to be the only member of Bobby's family that he's genuinely fond of. Bobby's is not a distant or adversarial relationship toward Tita. He's more accepting of her "singing" than the recording engineers are. He also uses her "nickname" comfortably.
Tita doesn't know where Bobby is not because Bobby doesn't like her but rather because Bobby knows Tita would pass on the information to the rest of the family.
...why does Bobby visit his sister Tita...
Because Bobby's now unemployed, he's at "loose ends" with plenty of free time. Perhaps he's trying a first stumbling step toward in some vague way "reconnecting" with his family. (And perhaps he hopes that Tita will somehow give him some money.)
...at the recording Studio..
Even though none of his family could find him, and even though none of his family had heard from him in years, he apparently was able to find Tita fairly easily.
One possibility: The film skips over relatively uninteresting parts, sometimes several days, for example we see three or four meals at his home and are then told he's been there two weeks! Quite likely he spent several days locating Tita.
Another wilder possibility: perhaps he secretly kept fairly good track of his family despite the rupture.
