Partly, this is going to be a lot of guesswork on both sides.
The Wehrmacht in 1934 would be a tiny force compared to the Italian Army; however, that doesn't mean that Italy is likely to shove all or most of it into Austria.
Some have insisted that Austria craves union with Germany at this period in time. (You'd have thought that the Austrians might have at least asked France and Germany about it in the 1930s if this were true.) In all likelihood, this is probably about 20-35% of the population. Austria would be hard pressed to fight AGAINST Germany, but that doesn't mean that much of Austria would JOIN Germany in a fight against Italy.
Given that the Anschluss 'myth' of Austria desperately wanting annexation is a blatant lie retold by Nazi propaganda (and somehow had an impossible 99% of the vote) I would expect that Germany MIGHT succeed in getting some of its Pan-German nationalists to flee Austria; perhaps a few hundred thousand people run north as a result. But Austria is going to either remain independent or quietly become reliant on an Italian Military Presence to safeguard it from future expansion.
Given that Italy would now warmly accept French and British help to contain Nazi Germany, and that the Czechs are almost certainly going to recieve at least Italian support, I expect that Hitler might come close to breaking Germany as a country.
Poland, Italy, and in this case, the Czechs, are not going to be very nice to Germany ITTL; depending on circumstance, the French, the Belgians (who might not opt for strict neutrality given Germany belligerence) and the UK might also want a share of the spoils.
How Germany responds to military humilation after its nationalism has been essentially hijacked by a madman and the subsequent bankruptcy, land grabs, and very bitter recollections of a nearly complete humiliation of German Nationalism is probably going to lead to crises in the 1960s and 70s, but I would expect that the West would have lost all sympathy for Germany because of this war.
What follows this? A Hard Socialist regime looking for the only other answer? German Lander simply giving up on a Pan-German identity to embrace nationalities as "Hessan, Hannoverian, or Westphalian?". In either case, I would imagine that for the rest of Stalin's life, Poland is simply too strong to mess with.
