Generally, no. Any packet (or rather data segment) is addressed to a specific socket that belongs to a certain application. Unless applications do anything between themselves (which would be off-topic here), the data only goes to one of them. And certainly, data isn't shared across devices.

    No, you cannot inject data into an application stream. (Only with a man-in-the-middle attack, or a caching proxy, but all off-topic here).
