Is there a way for the server to know what port the client is trying
to connect to

Multiple concurrent connections between a client and server are
achieved by use of so-called "ephemeral ports" at the client end.
The port number at the server end is predetermined and fixed so
that a client always knows where it has to connect to.
It is not necessary that the port number at the client end be
known ahead of time since no one needs to connect to it.
Rather, a server needs to respond to it and knows what it is
from the connection request.

between a Client and Server on a port (if its between two different
machines)
If the client is using multiple port numbers then it should be
able to
sustain multiple conversations with a single server. TCP/IP does
not allow
concurrent multiple conversations between a single src-IP:port dst-
IP port
pair.
Actually, technically speaking, TCP/IP has no concept of a
conversation.
TCP/IP provides a reliable point to point connection over which you
can have
as many conversations as you want.
