No, chsh changes the login shell for the user within /etc/passwd. It
won't affect any currently active shells.

What happens when you do an
  /bin/bash --login
That should start a login shell. If you still only get the tab
character, check if you've got the line
  set -o vi
in /etc/profile, /etc/bash*, ~/.profile, or ~/.bash* anywhere.
