I use fedora rather than ubuntu myself so the details may differ but the manager webapp may well be in a seperate package that may not be installed with tomcat automatically. Try looking in synaptic for that. In fedora its in tomcat<version>-admin-webapps.
The automatic deployment of wars depends on you setting autoDeploy to true which can be done in server.xml. Check the tomcat documentation for how to do that. Hope it helps.
