When compiling C++ you of course use a compiler for the target platform you want to compile for. Is there a C++ compiler that targets the JVM (so instead of using the Java "native" interface C++ code is compiled to Java byte code)?

Yes. Here's a commercial C compiler that produces JVM bytecode.
Axiomatic Solutions has an answer to this problem called Axiomatic Multi-Platform C (AMPC). This software can compile C source files directly into Java class files.
Modern JVMs take bytecode and compile it into native code when first needed.
The JVM (Java Virtual Machine) may be an interpreter or a JIT (Just In Time) compiler or both. If it is a compiler then it is writing machine code directly. It does not write C code first.
NestedVM provides binary translation for Java Bytecode. This is done by having GCC compile to a MIPS binary which is then translated to a Java class file. Hence any application written in C, C++, Fortran, or any other language supported by GCC can be run in 100% pure Java with no source changes.
