A1: Probably this is why. The minimal amount of configuration is usually to set wrapper.tomcat_home and wrapper.java_home. After changing the file, you simply need to stop and re-start the service for the changes to take effect.
A2: jk_nt_service is a wrapper program that can run as a NT/W2K/XP service. It invokes a java process running Tomcat as a sub-process with a command line that it creates from the wrapper.properties file. Because of the way that Windows works, this is the only way to allow Tomcat to continue running without having anyone logged into the machine (and many people are understandably uncomfortable with leaving their server logged in). Other than knowing how to respond to the "Service Manager" events (stop/start), it isn't all that much different than tomcat.bat.
