Answer 1

The classes in the System.DirectoryServices namespace will help you get that information.

Check this article by Rick Strahl for an example:

/// 

/// Returns a list of all the Application Pools configured
/// 
/// 
public ApplicationPool[] GetApplicationPools()
{           
    if (ServerType != WebServerTypes.IIS6 && ServerType != WebServerTypes.IIS7)
        return null;

    DirectoryEntry root = this.GetDirectoryEntry("IIS://" + this.DomainName + "/W3SVC/AppPools");
      if (root == null)
            return null;

    List Pools = new List();

    foreach (DirectoryEntry Entry in root.Children)
    {
        PropertyCollection Properties = Entry.Properties;

        ApplicationPool Pool = new ApplicationPool();
        Pool.Name = Entry.Name;

        Pools.Add(Pool);
    }

    return Pools.ToArray();
}

/// 

/// Create a new Application Pool and return an instance of the entry
/// 
/// 
/// 
public DirectoryEntry CreateApplicationPool(string AppPoolName)
{
    if (this.ServerType != WebServerTypes.IIS6 && this.ServerType != WebServerTypes.IIS7)
        return null;

    DirectoryEntry root = this.GetDirectoryEntry("IIS://" + this.DomainName + "/W3SVC/AppPools");
    if (root == null)
        return null;

    DirectoryEntry AppPool = root.Invoke("Create", "IIsApplicationPool", AppPoolName) as DirectoryEntry;           
    AppPool.CommitChanges();

    return AppPool;
}

/// 

/// Returns an instance of an Application Pool
/// 
/// 
/// 
public DirectoryEntry GetApplicationPool(string AppPoolName)
{
    DirectoryEntry root = this.GetDirectoryEntry("IIS://" + this.DomainName + "/W3SVC/AppPools/" + AppPoolName);
    return root;
}

/// 

/// Retrieves an Adsi Node by its path. Abstracted for error handling
/// 
/// the ADSI path to retrieve: IIS://localhost/w3svc/root
/// node or null
private DirectoryEntry GetDirectoryEntry(string Path)
{

    DirectoryEntry root = null;
    try
    {
        root = new DirectoryEntry(Path);
    }
    catch
    {
        this.SetError("Couldn't access node");
        return null;
    }
    if (root == null)
    {
        this.SetError("Couldn't access node");
        return null;
    }
    return root;
}
