My TCPView shows that a process called winrdlv3.exe is in TCP LISTENING state while the count of its sent packets is keeping increasing (no received packets)? How can a process in LISTENING state send packets? enter image description here

Easily. After all, a process isn't in LISTENING state, one of it's sockets is, and this means that it waits for connections. Other his sockets can be in the same time in a ESTABLISHED state, and those are definitely sending packets.

Check out this socket transition diagram:
