Am I right to say that "/" refers to the "Tomcat" directory ?
No, you're wrong. Attempting to access "/" would result in an attempt to
write to the root of the filesystem.
If I mention the file path as "/subscribers.txt", I don't find the file in
the "TOMCAT" directory once the class is instantiated.
That's because you're made the wrong assumption above.

If you start the path with a "/" then it's not relative.
There are functions to help you locate resources on webapp relative
paths.
String absolutePath = servletContext.getRealPath( relativePath );
