There is, but it's kept only in memory, not written to disk.  There are
some conditions where the META-INF/context.xml file is copied to
conf/Catalina/[host]/[appname].xml, such as when expanding .war files.

Again, only internally, not on disk.

Watch out for browser caches of the generated page.  Also, depending on
the settings in conf/web.xml and your <Context> element, the changes to
the JSP may or may not result in recompilation and/or reload of the
webapp.

That's normal, when unpackWARs is set to "true" in the <Host> element.
If "false", portions of the .war file will be unpacked into Tomcat's
work directory instead.
