If you want to have Tomcat running on port 80 and/or 443: yes.

True.

Yes and no.
I have the following setup:
- 1 - Tomcat standalone on port 8080 and 8443 as a 'normal' user.
- 2 - Netfilter rules - done as root - to redirect traffic from port 80 to
8080 and port 443 to port 8443.
Everybody happy.
