The closest option would be a Powerline adapter. You could use a moca adapter over coax but it could cause problems with TV boxes if you have satellite or cable TV. Get a good adapter as all are not created equal. I’ve installed TP-Link AV2000 and AV1200 series adapters in some large houses and they work well.

Can I run two Ethernet cables next to each other?
Yes, it will work, though it will be limited to 100 Base-T speeds. However, for the price of two splitters and the extra cables you would then need at each end, you could probably get a cheap Ethernet switch and keep your 1000 Base-T speeds.
