How many plants can I fit in a hanging basket? I think it’s about 6inch deep and 12 wide just guessing.

I think that basket is too small for a tomato--bush, cherry, or any other type. Tomatoes have a great root system and need enough soil for the roots to support the above-ground growth.
Try just one and see how it works out!

It will be amazing how large one plant can grow!
Yup, they get rather large. But I'd be willing to bet at least some fruit from one in a large basket.

I've grown "Tumbling Tom" (red) a number of times.
Your basket is ideal for one plant.
They're a nice, tasty little tomato, and you'll get a good few.
I'd still be growing them, but I slightly prefer the acid/sweet balance of "Maskotka".
