The setup is quite simple actually - there is a WebSocket server and a WebSocket client connecting to it.
My idea is to be able to indirectly access the WebSocket server by forwarding it's listening port to a machine with a real IP address. (in the case when the server is behind a router or firewall and using standard NAT forwarding / routing is not an option - e.g. on two devices accessing the Internet through a mobile data connection)
The problem is that the WebSocket client will always allocate a random port when initializing the communication and the SSH-relay point has no idea how to handle the responses coming from the server on that port.
What makes it even worse is that SSH will open yet another TCP socket (again on a random port) which will be then used to forward the client's request to the actual WebSocket server over the SSH tunnel.
So, if I want to make this work I will have to build a second SSH tunnel from the WebSocket client, in an attempt to bridge the SSH generated client socket to the original one, which makes this a somewhat complicated task...

Two question here, but it's only one on the protocol point of view.
If two persons use the same key to connect to a SSH server is there a risk they can decipher the other tunnel. In other terms is that less safe than if they have two separate keys.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used. Note that ssh-keysign is not set-uid by default on Mac OS X.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub
If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate information corresponding with the private keys above.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)
HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
