Nov 3, 2019 at 15:59 comment added SashaP Got it, just the vanishing of the tensor product already implies that some element of $a$ is invertible if $M$ is finitely generated.

Nov 3, 2019 at 14:23 comment added Boris Bilich @SashaP, 0th Tor (just tensor product) counts too. In case of $M=A$ we have 0th Tor is isomorphic to $A/a$.
Nov 3, 2019 at 13:51 comment added SashaP Apparently I’m misunderstanding something, but the vanishing condition holds for any $M$ flat over $A$, in particular for $M=A$ in which case $S$ is the set of invertible elements in $A$ so it has empty intersection with any non-unital ideal. The converse is thus false for every ring $A$.
