Generally traffic exiting a LAN is controlled at the router or firewall by setting rules in the configuration files for the router or firewall restricting what IP addresses traffic can be sent to, what devices outbound traffic can be sent from. You can also set rules controlling what outbound ports, protocols, and services will be blocked or allowed. Generally the best way to configure is "deny all and allow by exception" where all traffic is blocked by default and then rules are inserted to allow exceptions for specific traffic. You would also insert settings into the Access Control List.

You would want to block suspicious outbound traffic because it may be a malicious program attempting to submit stolen data to its creator, or to open a backdoor

The administrator can set up a Local Area Network (LAN) behind a firewall in which he can assign whatever IP address block he wishes. The firewall and router will then need to be configured to Network Address Translate (NAT) the 'hidden' internal IP addresses used on the LAN to the one assigned by the ISP when network traffic needs to leave the LAN.

Can we connect to the tcp server running in the same lan using the public ip rather then using lan ip?

Yes, but the data traffic will traverse the Internet to reach that public IP address. If the server has another network interface in the same subnet as the connecting device, you can constrain the traffic to the LAN. If the connecting device is instructed to use the public IP address to reach the server, the traffic will first travel to the LAN gateway, which determines the best route for the traffic to reach public addresses. Typically, this would be via an ISP that the gateway is somehow connected to. Please specify your goal in your question to get an optimal strategy as an answer.
