Sure. Just change the paths of the log files to /var/log/somewhere.
Note that writing to /var is usually not allowed except by root-owned
processes, and running Tomcat as root as a Bad Idea.
You should also set CATALINA_OUT to point to
/var/log/somewhere/catalina.out as well. Set this in
CATALINA_BASE/setenv.sh.

Yes. Just configure logrotate as usual.
However:
1. Most Tomcat log files can rotate themselves quite well.
2. catalina.out is a special case because it's a redirected-stdout, so
you'll have the usual caveats about those kinds of things with
logrotate. I'd recommend either using copy+truncate or hack
catalina.sh to pipe stdout through a logger that supports rotation,
such as rotatelogs.
Hope that helps,
