In regard to your experiment:
This probably doesn't matter much given the size of the container, but any light that gets through the plastic will discourage root growth where the soil meets the plastic. Wrapping or painting the outside of the container could fix this, but again its probably not a big deal.
Some tomatoes take forever to sprout, depending on strain, temperature, and depth planted. I still have seedlings peeking out 12-13 days after I first planted them due to genetics and planting them too deep. I'd give them at least two weeks before getting worried, and which point you could gently scrape some of the surface dirt aside and see if they have a taproot or not.
As for the worms, I say good idea. Worst case they die and act as free plant food. However if you ever try your hand at a worm bin for composting, be sure to get the right kind of worm. Larger worms like those generally like to dig way deeper than is useful for composting. I've always heard red wigglers are the ideal worm for composting, but other species might work as well.
Good luck!
