Justin, It is normal for there to be two processes running.
As for exactly, I can't say, but my understanding is that jsvc start the process, in this case tomcat, then after tomcat has allocated the ports on 80 and/or 443 the privileges are then change to the level of the user specified in the startup script. As for test, try to do some simple IO function to a disc that has the privileges set to not allow tomcat access. When started with startup.sh as root it should work. When started as jsvc it should fail. If you log on as user tomcat and start tomcat with startup.sh it should also fail. To my knowledge, Tomcat does not shut down. I believe that jsvc does. Warning my knowledge has been known to be faulty and dangerous at time. Although I have no data to back my opinion, I have seen no slowdown of the system or drop in performance. There is no increase in memory or cpu when run with jsvc and without. Others may have definitive numbers to prove/disprove my observations.
