With Tomcat 3.3.x, I think you will find a noticeable improvement in performance. It also offers better stability and is more configurable. The improvements in configuration does mean that there are differences, though I don't think the changes would be significant. I can't say exactly without knowing what configuration changes have been made in your 3.2.1 installation.
As to whether Tomcat 4.x would be useful, you could give it a try and see if there are features that could be taken advantage of when upgrading your site. For example, the JSP 1.2 spec allows <jsp:include ... flush="false"/>.
