Yes, you can run it as a non-root user. That's what I do. Tomcat is pretty self-contained.
Is there anything in the logs about the admin application? It's very strange to me that /manager would work, but /admin would not. They are both configured for auto-deploy. What happens if you move the contents of admin.xml into server.xml itself and restart Tomcat?
