Can Port Listener capture traffic on a port already used by another...

No. Only one process can bind to a TCP port at a time. Port Listener must be the process listening on that port. It does not sniff or intercept traffic flowing to other applications.

If the port is already in use, you will see a "port already in use" error. Close the other application or choose a different port number.
