Sounds very much like blackfly to me. Everybody seems to be suffering with it this year  :(
A spray with soapy water helps. The black and white striped wasps things are probably Hoverflies, the larvae of which feed on blackfly and greenfly, so they are goodies  :)
Sometimes tomatoes put out new roots from the base of the stem, which appear like white lumps at first.
Photo's would help though  :)
Cheers, Comfortably Numb.

I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long ..........................
