Hi, Tomcat 5 can be used standalone to serve static content including images, yes. The same is true for tomcat 3 and 4 as well. People are using tomcat in production without a front-end server to handle static content, yes. Is there a drop in performance? Probably yes, but it depends on the static content, the traffic your site gets, the hardware and software configuration, and a host of other variables: frequently the drop in performance is better than the additional maintenance and setup costs of a separate front-end.
