I find Oromë quite a bit more severe than Tom, but they do share an affinity for the land it seems, yes.
...but I also love the idea that another Vala entered Arda, not just Tulkas...
I think you're the second or third person in this thread to bring up the idea that Tom's a Vala. I hadn't thought of that before but I rather like it; after all, it's never quite seemed to me that there's a Vala in the panthoen who quite represents the poetic inclination.
In my own headcanon, he's a Maia who came into Arda at the same time as Tulkas did. Once I meant to write a bunch of short stories about him, one bearing out my headcanon, and a few just being kind of satirical. So many things I never get around to writing..
