Slugs and snails will do this. Had to replace all my cucumber seedlings and put down stuff to control the slugs/snails. I started spraying down my plants with "inscticidal" soap spray. It's less harmfully to bees and other pollinators. I usually don't have trouble after they get past the seedling stages. A few occasions I actually went with legit insecticides at the very start but normally I don't have to go to those extremes.
Also in would suggest not using seeds from grocery store bought tomatoes. I did this and they came out tasting... Well like store bought tomatoes. Get some heirloom seeds Or, if you have any farmers markets or other sources of locally grown foods use seeds from those. We have some Amish vendors that set up locally and their tomatoes taste a hell of a lot better that store bought.
If the plants start getting too tall, clip the top off. They will grow bushier and if you trim areas with no flowers it will focus more on flowering than vegetative growth too.
Also tomatoes need a relatively large root volume. I would give 1 tomato plant at least it's own 5" pot.
