You're thinking is correct!! That'd be a tomato plant.....if you'd stop spitting seeds all over.......! Most people just have that happen with watermelon seeds!

Yes, looks like a tomato plant.
Interesting; it will take much more water than the cactus would like.
Maybe you can transplant it to another pot ?

From a farmer...
Yes...it's a tomato.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

TOMATO SEEDLINGS ARE FOUND EVERYWHERE
"Wild" tomato seedlings in odd places are evidence of defecation by tomato-eating
people, animals and birds. Young tomato plants have been found growing, if only briefly,
even on the worlds highest mountains. They are set down in their own fertilizer. To see a young tomato plant is to know something or someone has
preceded you to that spot.

Tomatoes sometimes aren`t.
