If you want complete isolation between the webapps, then it might make
sense to run separate instances of Tomcat. We do this in production so
we can bring one instance of Tomcat down without disturbing the others.
It also allows us to mix/match JVM and Tomcat versions between the webapps.

Generally, yes. As Pid points out, you'll need a 64-bit JVM to use all
that RAM.
