First question: Generally you could distinguish the applications by using different port numbers of each end of the communication. BUT: Whouldn't it be better to use the Android inter-process communication like Serializable objects and intents?
Second question: Implemet a service in one of the appllications. The service will be available even if any UI activity is in the backgground. BUT: you have to take care that the system knows that the service is still in use / not in use any more...
