Rear MTB and Road pulls were the same, except for one of the earlier Dura Ace sets. Tourney should do fine, however neither that, nor the 200GS are good quality stuff, so don't expect 100% fine shifting. You'll need a road front derailleur though, those aren't compatible. Microshift is a better choice than Tourney I think.
Alternatively I'd go with post-2001 3x9 Campagnolo Ergopowers, as their cable pull is almost perfectly the same, but they work way better and are easier to maintain and repair.
I'd really switch that 200GS RD to an LX/DX/XT from the same era, they tend to be cheap and work a hundred times better.

So, what are the 3x7 shifter options to work with shimano 200gs mtb stuff?
Ideally I’d like to run road levers and shifters. Will the tourney drop levers that pop up on Ebay work(listed as road pull)? Microshift? Give up and get thumbies or bar end levers? Would like to keep it looking tidy ideally and I crash stuff whenever I venture off road which makes me worry about bar end...
