The Tower is a strange concept. According to Vivec, the Tower is basically realizing that you exist in a universe where everything is actually one thing (the dreamer), yet keeping your individuality from the "one thing".

The reason why a person who achieves CHIM sees the tower is because seeing the tower is needed to achieve CHIM.

Also Lorkhan never achieved CHIM, he simply learned of its existence by viewing the Tower.

Lorkhan apparently failed CHIM. He didn't zero sum, though. Lorkhan also wanted to create Mundus to make it easier to achieve CHIM and later Amaranth.

Every Tower on Mundus is therefoer a "mirror image" of the original I-Tower. Towers on Mundus are apparently created by some kind of "Dawn Magic" which was lost over the time. Hermaeus Mora, being the keeper of all forbidden knowledge, could know what this Dawn Magic is and how to use it. Nothing would stop him from creating a Tower in his own realm (even though it wouldn't make much sense, since his realm won't become non-existent if there is no tower).

By  the way, since CHIM is forbidden knowledge and since Molag Bal and even Mehrunes Dagon seem to know about it, couldn't it be possible that Hermaeus Mora also knows it or has it written in a Black Book? The "Waking Dreams" Black Book even mentions the Godhead.
