I can not comment on the Sharktap instructions, as those are third-party (do you have a link to the instructions?). As for the interface of the capturing system, promiscuous mode only means packets that would normally be dropped at the NIC (unicast packet not for it's own mac-address and multicast packets for groups that the nic was not subscribed to) will now be forwarded to the OS. There is no mechanism in the capturing host that prevents outgoing packets. Unless you remove the networking stacks from the interface of course.
