Johnny, you're having way too much fun :D . Sam to answer your question, tomcat simply is the reference implementation of servlet and jsp specification from Sun (and a damn fine one at that too).
Glassfish like other comparable app servers out there implement the JEE specification (well whichever they are targeting) and as such they do much more (as required by the spec). Probably some confusion arises when you find that they can both do servlets and jsp (web applications). This is because the app servers should provide that feature. So if you're looking to do ejb's a full blown app server would serve you well. If you get by fine with just servlets+jsp+other frameworks thrown in then tomcat is pretty suitable for you as well.
