First, which is correct, the score or the tab? The tab has extra notes on the 2nd string that are not indicated in the staff notation.

I read it from the staff line, and here,s what I recommend: you can sustain the A for the entire passage if fingered properly. And of course let that dropped D sustain also. This will create the illusion of a ringing chord despite the step-wise movement in the inner voice.

To do this, finger the A/F# with 2 and 4. Sustain the A with the 2nd finger and don,t let it go. Finger the scale wise notes with the remaining fingers -- 1,3 and 4. Sustaining both the A and the bass D should do the trick.

This fingering also allows you to play the pull-offs as written, without dropping your sustained notes.
