Great. Welcome to the Tomcat dev community.

Possibly. If so, we are currently using JUnit 3 but that can always be changed
if there is a good reason.

Tomcat does use svn, as do all ASF projects. We can also request a read-only git
mirror if that would help.
You can use any IDE.

Tomcat 7. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk
The Servlet 3.0 spec requires Java 6 so any Java 6 features may be used.

A general familiarization with the Servlet 3.0 specification would be an 
advantage.

I'd also suggest reading the various threads on the dev list that are about this
GSOC project.
