"If I want to use tomcat's role for two instances on same host is better to use group_vars than the inventory file ? "
group_vars and inventory variables are the same thing expressed two different ways. If you want to use the role twice on the same box, this is a different pattern, which are parameterized roles: Click http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_roles.html#roles and scroll down and it will talk about parameterized roles. You can pass different parameters to the same role, applied twice, to the same server or set of servers.
