Communicating on the same machine should be possible if Touch Designer sets the right options on their network socket (sharing port and not taking exclusive access, MadMapper does this, SO_REUSEADDR + SO_REUSEPORT)
But there are issues with localhost. It will work depending on which application opened the port first. It happens with all applications, it seems we can't deal with that. Installing a virtual network interface should solve, or just having an activate Ethernet interface and using that one.
