Is true when the national weather service issues a tornado watch a tornado has been spotted?

No, if a tornado is spotted a tornado warning is issued .A tornado watch is not as bad as a tornado warning is. The watch just means that it is the type of weather that could POSSIBLY produce a tornado. It doesnt even mean that there is rotation or high winds. A warning is something to worry about though.

A tornado warning is issued when radar data and eyewitness reports indicate a tornado has formed, is forming, or is likely to form soon. These warnings are then issued by the local office of the National Weather Service. The warning will contain information on the tornado's location, speed and direction of movement, and places in the potential path. This information is distributed through TV and radio stations as well as smart phone apps. In some places sirens may sound to alert people.

"Worse" is not the word, let's say "more important": Tornado warning is more important. A tornado "watch" means weather conditions are such that there is a possibility a tornado could form. But there have been no tornadoes as of yet. A Tornado warning means A tornado has been spotted/touched down in your alert area. You should take cover if a tornado warning is issued for your area; go into a cellar, or the lowest, most inner part of your house where there are no windows (a downstairs or basement bathroom is ideal). Tornado watch? Merely continue to monitor the weather broadcasts.
