My understanding of JVM scaleout is that the servlet container is responsible for multiplexing incoming connections onto free capacity, which isn't how most docker shops work.
No, not really, typically you would just run N of your JVM processes with either some sort of load balancer (or your "routing fabric") to balance between them or a discovery mechanism.
I think you might be referring to some sort of big-box "enterprise" servlet container like Websphere or something quite different than Tomcat.
