I would most definately recommend *NOT* running Tiger on a stock B&W. Especially a 300Mhz Rev A like you seem to have (see my thread on this forum as to problems Rev A B&W Macs have). Yeah, you can technically run Tiger on a 300Mhz G3, but you probably won't be happy with it.
Were it me, I would run 9.2.2. That effectively limits you to Photoshop 7. I run Photoshop 5.5 on my iMac, and it serves my needs, but I'm not a professional artist or anything. The sheer number of options PS offers causes my head to spin.
Regardless, RAM is the most important thing. The 64MB that these machines came stock with is okay for light usage in 8, extremely borderline for 9 (the system heap with use up about 40 megs of that, give or take), and right out for X. Go to 256MB at least.
Clearly the eMac is the better machine for running X and more modern incarnations of Photoshop.
I can't help with your tablet unless you're a bit more specific about what it is, and what's on the driver CD.
YMMV.
