OK it looks like you have stock standard tomcat and it is not shutting down properly and so when you try and start it its already running and
Try running 'sudo netstat -ntlp | grep 8080' That should show you the pid of what is running (eg 1456/java). Kill that (with 'kill 1456'). Check again with netstat that it is really gone. If its not then really kill it with a sledgehammer (kill -9 1456). Then try and start your tomcat again.
