This may sound crazy… but is there any way to use the host's keyboard and mouse when using RDP?
I mean there is a headless Windows machine in my room. I often use Remote Desktop on one of my idle tablets to view the screen. As you know, typing and controlling the mouse pointer on a tablet suck. I cannot open an RDP from two different computers to one RDP server (as far as I know). So, if I connect from my desktop (which has a real keyboard) to the server using RDP, the connection on the tablet closes.
I know it just works that way if I use VNC, but VNC is slow compared to RDP, but if there is no way to do this with RDP, I might seriously consider using VNC instead of RDP.
PS: Just buy a monitor is not the answer I am looking for. I prefer tablet because I can see it in any position or place.

Its a bit of a hack (and I haven't tried it out myself), but you might be able to use a keyboard/mouse sharing software like mouse without borders or synergy to use the mouse and keyboard from the host on the guest, then control the host over RDP
Tricky thing here is, you haven't mentioned what your tablet is, and neither of these would work on a android or ios tablet. There's specific products for this in the respective application markets however. If its windows or linux, its trivial and these will work
