After the TFT figure attacked, how many 1 second attacks can a GURPS figure launch, before the TFT figure can attack again after 5 seconds of play have elapsed. and it becomes his action phase again?

Depends on what he's equipped with, but with a hand weapon, typically at least 5 attacks. If he knows he's not going to need to avoid getting attacked himself, probably twice as many.
But that's not nearly the only difference. The TFT character gets to actively parry, dodge, and block attacks, move freely, do quite a few types of attacks not found in TFT. His armor probably doesn't reduce his DX (or at most, -2DX for unfitted plate and a visored helmet).
Some of the differences could be translated in favor of the TFT fighter, though. You could say he gets to go first if his adjDX is higher, which it might be, and let him attack as much as you can attack for 5 seconds in GURPS, and even say that since TFT characters don't have active defenses, he gets to do 5 All-Out Attacks, so that's like 10 attacks... but really it's all a bit silly to try to run both systems at once, except to see how different the systems are.
