Please READ what I write, so I don't have to repeat it.

TCP imposes an imbalance between the peers (one has to be the listening
and one has to be the connecting instance), but the OpenVPN protocol *inside*
the TCP session will still be "point to point mode (p2p)"

tun/tap is just a network interface, so do with it what you want - setup
ip addresses and routing, set up firewalling, set up policy routing, etc. -
OpenVPN won't care, and just transport packets entering the tun/tap 
interface to the other side, and deliver to the remote tun/tap interface.
