Problem

Three points $A$, $B$, and $T$ are fixed such that $T$ lies on segment $AB$, closer to point $A$. Let $AT=m$ and $BT=n$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Construct circle $O$ with a variable radius that is tangent to $AB$ at $T$. Let $P$ be the point such that circle $O$ is the incircle of $\triangle APB$. Construct $M$ as the midpoint of $AB$. Let $f(m,n)$ denote the maximum value $\tan^{2}\angle AMP$ for fixed $m$ and $n$ where $n>m$. If $f(m,49)$ is an integer, find the sum of all possible values of $m$.
