I was under the assumption that the Constitution applies to all within the sovereign territory of the US, not just citizens. That's why undocumented immigrants are still given trials for suspected crimes.
It looks like they do, yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Wing_v._United_States
The fact that they bothered to pass a law at all could be argued to be a tacit admission that tiktok has constitutional rights, if it doesn't then you could just march in and confiscate it's servers, since it wouldn't have the right to due process.
Corporate entities though? I'm not sure we should be onboard with giving companies constitutional rights (just the people), let alone foreign companies.
