The master agent is not listening on TCP port 705 as expected.
It's listening on a named socket called "localhost:705"
In one sense, this doesn't matter, because the subagent is connecting
to the same named socket. But it will be incredibly confusing for the
poor sod that has to look after this mess once you move on to pastures new.
Robert's already pointed out that your system doesn't seem to recognise
the name "localhost", and that you should use "127.0.0.1" instead.
I'd propose that you set the AgentX socket to be "tcp:127.0.0.1:705"
(for both master and subagent).

You have forgotten to specify the destination host.
The syntax is
snmpwalk ADMIN_SETTINGS HOST OID(s)
You've just got
snmpwalk ADMIN_SETTINGS OID

So snmpwalk it treating the OID (ocStbHostAVInterfaceTable) as the name
of the host to query, and complaining because it doesn't exist.

That's better - you've remembered to include the name of the host.
But as Robert has pointed out, this system doesn't actually recognise
this name.

No.
You do *NOT* send SNMP requests to the AgentX port.
This is purely for communication betweent the master and subagent.
You should not attempt to query this directly.
AgentX and SNMP are two different protocols, and you will just
confuse the agents (as well as yourself) if you try to mix them.
