Tomcat is a server. It is used to deploy and run Servlets and not compile them. A Servlet is a java file and has to be compiled just like any other Java Class.
The Java Servlet is like every other Java class. You can compile it using the javac command or if you are using a Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Eclipse, it will compile the class for you. One main difference w.r.t Servlets is the fact that, they get deployed into EAR files (Enterprise Archive Files) and not JAR files (Java Archive Files) like normal java apps.
Apache Tomcat is a servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run.

Yes you can but it is not required. A Servlet is nothing but another .java file and all rules that are applicable to standard Java classes are applicable to them. Note: Even if you write a constructor in a servlet, it will not get executed.
