You may have multiple Web.Config files in one Asp.Net Application, but only single per folder.

Have a look at below link for more information.
http://weblogs.asp.net/jalpeshpvadgama/archive/2011/03/23/working-with-more-then-one-web-config-files-in-asp-net-application.aspx

Application-Pool
Although your curiosity might be genuine, but it is irrelevant to associate this with Application-Pool. One Application-Pool can be assigned/associated with one/multiple Web Applications/Sites in IIS.

Have a look at below link for more information on this.
How Application Pools Work (IIS 6.0)
