Yes, he was nationally known for his war exploits.
William Henry Harrison -- would be become the ninth US president to serve the briefest time -- was called the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe (1811). He won a relatively small engagement against Chief Tecumsah's confederation of tribes and made Indiana safe for American expansion. Two years later, at the Battle of the Thames, he defeated a British Major General who was assisted by Tecumsah. The Indian Chief was killed and the British general escaped alive only to face a court-martial later. The Battle of the Thames was essentially the second half of the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. Harrison died after only a month in office.
Andrew Jackson was the biggest hero in the War of 1812 due to his overwhelming victory at New Orleans. William Henry Harrison also received favorable attention for his part as a leader in this war.

Well, that is an interesting question. The leader of US forces was William Henry Harrison, but Tecumseh wasn't actually involved in the battle at all. His brother Tenskwatawa, a spiritual leader, was in charge while Tecumseh was out recruiting. He led a force to attack Harrison's forces, and was ultimately driven away, but Tecumseh rebuilt and continued to oppose the US, ultimately joining the British in the War of 1812.
