If the monitor (or LCD TV) has PiP function then yes it is possible though not the same way you described it, so no 50/50% ratio, one instance will run in fullscreen and the second instance will be a small window.

You can however start your PS4 and PC then switch between them by using the buttons on your monitor, this works perfectly and let's be honest you wouldn't be able to focus on 2 separate things anyways.
 
I don't think they do Picture in Picture or split screen anymore, but I had a tv/monitor that had it and it did kinda work for basically exactly what you described.
(I did spend like $2000 on that monitor though)

If you just got a second monitor/tv (cause monitors don't normally have sound and if they do it's garbage) you'd be better off in the end.
