Yup, you're 100% correct, Both are servlet containers.

Yes, again. They provide only the servlet technology* whereas a full
blow JEE container such as JBoss or Glassfish go for the whole JEE
stack.
*Well, actually they (Tomcat & Jetty) support other pieces, JSP, JNDI,
etc. but not EJB, for instance.
