Hmm, as I understand it you are starting two instance of solr! One as a
tomcat and the other as jetty. Why do you want that? If you have solr on
tomcat you do not need the jetty anymore. I does make 0 sense under
normal circumstances to do this.

That seems to be wrong. It should read <dataDir>${solr.data.dir:C:\solr
\dat}</dataDir> but I am not using windows so I am not sure whether you
may need to escape the path.
