Your design is correct altough you'd better use TWSocketServer instead of reinventing the wheel. You can set MaxClients to one to support only one client at a time.
Calling send from another thread is OK because it is protected by a critical section. Note that the prefered design is to have all communication stuff handled by a single thread and use inter-thread communication (for example Windows messages) to make a real blackbox with your communication engine. It will be much simpler to develop and debug. And you'll be forced to have a better view of what you are doing. A final note: you need to have a message pump in your thread in order to have message processing and thus events properly working. This is one more reason to have a single thread dedictaed to your communication stuff: not all COM client have a working message pump in their thread ! Contribute to the SSL Effort.
