You've got two different things going on: installing Tomcat on the system and setting it up for Eclipse.
Installing it as a service is not necessary for its use in Eclipse. CATALINA_HOME should point to the root directory ("apache-tomcat-6.0.43-windows-x64" not "apache-tomcat-6.0.43-windows-x64\lib"), and I'd avoid using one where there are spaces involved.
That same directory should also work for Eclipse. The error message mentioned that it couldn't find "lib/jasper-el.jar"--which means it expects you to point it at a directory that's the parent of "lib."

Unless you're planning on really serving up Java pages from your Windows
desktop, you don't need to install Tomcat. Just point Eclipse at it
(Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environment -> Add -> Apache
Tomcat v6.0 -> Next -> Browse to
C:\Users\sonij3\wherever-you-decide-to-keep-it.
Then just launch your web application, to run or to debug, and Eclipse
will launch Tomcat for you.
You do not need to touch CATALINA_HOME.
