It seems weird that a web app would be deployed both with a regular
context root ("/asadmin") and with a context root of "/". Is that
just a side effect of the current implementation? Wouldn't it be
more natural to deploy a web app once, as the default web app, at
the context root of "/"?

Sadly, I'm not up on the details of the servlet spec around default
web apps, but I thought it didn't say much about that case.
