Given the following content:

{{< test >}}

## h2 inside &lt; shortcode
1. three
2. *four*

### h3 inside &lt; shortcode

2. *six*

{{< /test >}}

## Sit
1. one
2. *two*

{{% test %}}
## h2 inside % shortcode
1. three
2. *four*

### h3 inside % shortcode
1. five
2. *six*
{{% /test %}}

The following shortcode test.html:

Inside: 
{{.Inner }}
End 

The following layout:

{{.TableOfContents}}
{{.Content}}

I get the following output:

<div>
  <nav id="TableOfContents">
    <ul>
      <li>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#lorem">Lorem</a></li>
          <li><a href="#sit">Sit</a></li>
          <li><a href="#h2-inside-shortcode">h2 inside % shortcode</a>
            <ul>
              <li><a href="#h3-inside-shortcode">h3 inside % shortcode</a></li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </nav>

  <h2 id="lorem">Lorem</h2>
  <ol>
    <li>one</li>
    <li><em>two</em></li>
  </ol>

  Inside:
  ## h2 inside &lt; shortcode
  1. three
  2. *four*
  ### h3 inside &lt; shortcode
  1. five
  2. *six*
  End

  <hr>

  <h2 id="sit">Sit</h2>
  <ol>
    <li>one</li>
    <li><em>two</em></li>
  </ol>

  <p>Inside:</p>
  <h2 id="h2-inside-shortcode">h2 inside % shortcode</h2>
  <ol>
    <li>three</li>
    <li><em>four</em></li>
  </ol>

  <h3 id="h3-inside-shortcode">h3 inside % shortcode</h3>
  <ol>
    <li>five</li>
    <li><em>six</em></li>
  </ol>

  <p>End</p>
</div>

In short: it works. I get Table of Contents, including the headings inside the shortcode. The markdown is also properly rendered inside the shortcode.

As per the docs, using {{% shortcode %}}, and not using markdownify inside the shortcode definition.

Do you get different results? Or is this not what you are tying to do?
