Game versions of the tower number $\mathfrak t$
It is easy to see that $\mathfrak t\le \mathfrak t_I\le\mathfrak t_J\le\mathfrak c^+$.
Problem 1. Is $\mathfrak t_I\le\mathfrak c$? $\mathfrak t_J\le\mathfrak c$?
Problem 2. … Is the strict inequality $\mathfrak t<\mathfrak t_J$ (resp. $\mathfrak t<\mathfrak t_I$ or $\mathfrak t_I<\mathfrak t_J$) consistent? …

Relations between two tower numbers
Consider two small uncountable cardinals:
$\mathfrak t=\min\{|T|:T\subset[\omega]^\omega$ is a tower$\}$;
$\hat{\mathfrak t}=\sup\{|T|:T\subset[\omega]^\omega$ is a regular tower$\}$. … It is clear that $$\mathfrak t\le\hat{\mathfrak t}\le\mathfrak c.$$
Martin's Axiom implies $\mathfrak t=\hat{\mathfrak t}=\mathfrak c$. …

Is the smallest $L_\alpha$ with undefinable ordinals always countable?
${\mathfrak t}$ is the least $\beta$ such that there is a $\gamma<\beta$ with $L_\gamma \prec L_\beta$. That ${\mathfrak t} \leq$ the least such $\beta$ is obvious. … On the other hand, if $X \subset L_{\mathfrak t}$ is $\subseteq$-least with $X \prec L_{\mathfrak t}$, then $X \not= L_{\mathfrak t}$; hence if $\sigma \colon L_\gamma \cong X$, then either $\sigma$ is …

Game versions of the tower number $\mathfrak t$
For problem 1: yes, $\mathfrak{t}_I \leq \mathfrak{t}_J \leq \mathfrak{c}$. … In fact, this argument shows that $\mathfrak{t}_I \leq \mathfrak{t}_J \leq \mathfrak{s}$, where $\mathfrak{s}$ denotes the splitting number. …

Relations between two tower numbers
Thus, in his model $\mathfrak{t}=\hat{\mathfrak{t}}=\aleph_1<\aleph_2=\mathfrak{b}=\mathfrak{c}$, and so the last question in your first problem has a negative answer. … Thus, this gives a model where $\mathfrak{t}<\hat{\mathfrak{t}}$.
Edit 3/17/20
I tracked down another reference (due to Dordal [2]) with some more information on this question. …

Is the smallest $L_\alpha$ with undefinable ordinals always countable?
Let $\mathfrak{t}$ be the least ordinal such that $L_{\mathfrak{t}}$ has undefinable ordinals; i.e. there is an $\alpha<\mathfrak{t}$ such that $L_{\mathfrak{t}}$ cannot define $\alpha$. … {t}$ is eventually writable, then for every $\alpha<\mathfrak{t}$, $\alpha$ can be defined in $L_{\mathfrak{t}}$ as $\mathcal{O}^{++}(n)$ for some $n$
That's a contradiction, so there is some ordinal below …

When is there an unbounded tower in $[\mathbb{N}]^\infty$?
Since the random reals added constitute a non null set of size $\aleph_1$, standard arguments show that $V^P \models \mathfrak{p} = \mathfrak{t} = \aleph_1$. … So $V^p \models \aleph_1 = \mathfrak{t} < \mathfrak{b} = \kappa = 2^{\aleph_0} $ plus BT. …

A permutation group inducing a topologically transitive action without dense orbits on $\ome...
Under $\mathfrak t=\mathfrak c$, every topologically transitive continuous action of a group $G$ on $\omega^*$ has a dense orbit.
Proof. … By the definition of the tower number $\mathfrak t$ and the equality $\mathfrak t=\mathfrak c>\alpha$, there exists an infinite subset $V_\alpha\subseteq\omega$ such that $V_\alpha\subseteq^* U_\beta$ …
