Hopefully a TCAS is that accurate otherwise the sole purpose of its use is for naught.
Yes it'll give you a
rough indication of other aircraft positions but it's sole purpose is to provide vertical separation/guidance. It is notoriously inaccurate laterally and certainly not good enough for interception and that's not even counting it's extremely limited range.
I guess that's why fighters have expensive radar kits as opposed to TCAS.
