TrustZone is a CPU mode, hence it is not fully isolated from normal CPU operation. The CPU chooses to enter it and the current CPU state gets saved/restored. It contains the highest exception level, so it is able to access all memory. It does not usually have networking because that would invite complexity, but there is nothing to stop a vendor from putting a full network stack in there and assigning a network peripheral. Typically, it would rely on the main OS to send and receive packets.
