The installation of eclipse is simple, just unpack it somewhere (like c:) and start it. You will have to point it to your JDK (window->preferences->java).
Tomcat is also simple to install, just unpack it somewhere.
The current version of Eclipse have a feature that allows the integration of application servers (Tomcat, Jboss, etc) to the IDE. That way you can start and stop Tomcat and debug your applications without leaving the IDE. This greatly improves the productivity.
In a previous post I mentioned Tomcat Plug-in that allows this. The new native integration should be better.
Instructions on how to integrate Tomcat to Eclipse are found here:

In case your 'update manager' doesn't show any URLs (there is no place to get the updates), you can find instructions to add a new one here:
