On macOS it seems the "open " command targets the same tab so I don't seem to 
have to be worried about that:

(defun myLocalhostTest ()
    "saves and opens the file opened in the current buffer into localhost"
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
  (save-buffer)
  (setq myRoot "http://localhost:8888/";)
  (setq myFile (file-name-nondirectory (buffer-file-name)))
  (setq myTestCommand (concat "open " myRoot myFile))
  (shell-command myTestCommand)))

The above trivial code needs improvements to handle cases where the file is not 
at the root of localhost, but that can wait for now :)
