I'd start by getting things working running tomcat *not* as a service. Once that is done switch to using a service.
If you look at the service Log On control panel you'll see a "Allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox. This will need to be set for you to see a program running on your desktop. That option can only be set for the local system user - not adminsitartor.
