In the TCP case you cant have TCP broadcast or multicast so they would be the
same.

I've heard it called many things, mostly impolite. Linux always uses a
consistent address by the following order
o Address computed you did a bind() from
[bound address or iface addr if broadcast/multicast]
o Address of interface that the route specifies
Thats pretty much identical across most tcp stacks
