The machine making the connection will usually assign a semi-random
port. The machine being connected to (the reciever) will be listening on
a pre-defined port. You can't know in advance the iniators port unless
the software deliberately chooses it (and squid doesn't).

Seriously, you need to go and do some reading on TCP and how it works.
The questions you are asking at the moment are all answered in such
reading material.
