No.

Yes.

The Tomcat connector implements compression.

The SSL/TLS protocol has a separate compression implementation.

I'd guess (no testing to back this up) that you'd be better off with
using the connector compression as you can tailor that to the correct
mime-types.

I'd also guess that if you have one, enabling the other doesn't buy you
much.
