installing Java and Tomcat
Is there an installer, for any platform, that bundles JRE and Tomcat,
installs JRE first and configures Tomcat to use that JRE? Would such an
installer be possible?

These guys sell one
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/features/jre-installer.html
These guys give it away

Both JRE and Tomcat have windows EXE packages...
Any installer should allow you to unpack and run each one... so user will
see JRE setup
and then Tomcat the service set up....
I have another (untested) but possible very radical way.
On this site http://coolese.100free.com/ have a look at IGNITION.
It installs Java exec jars by letting the user click on a URL.in their
browser.
On windows one can use a script in the page to auto install JRE... it has
that script.
Then there is a port of tomcat on the same site to a nornal jar
configuration.
Its radical, but in theory the user can click on a link in their browser,
and Tomcat will start
running... not recommended but fun.
Good Luck

You could do it by yourself with innosetup for windows
based systems.

The JRE & Tomcat are supplied under separate licenses, so that's likely
to prevent them being distributed together - I'd guess.
The steps to configure Tomcat to use a given JRE are so minor compared
to configuring it for production/your application that you could
probably write your own installer script to do the last bit.
steps being:
1. run jre installer
2. set JAVA_HOME environment variable
3. unzip tomcat in target dir
