Service configurations are service configurations. You won't run the other options as service, so those are for the JVM that is used for the service. And I'm not aware that a service is stopped as the command line version. At least I'd hope so - a standard JVM would be good enough, if the start/stop mechanism not handled in the windows executable anyway.
Note: This is dangerous half-knowledge. I haven't been on Windows for ages, just read about it still being around from time to time. CATALINA_OPTS is utilized by the startup batch/script file, which is not used for services /at all/.
