Thanks to @Alexander-s and @davidebbo

With PowerShell

After the Deployment (without appsettings) has succeeded. Then run this to overwrite the appsettings completely.

$subscriptionID = {...}
Add-AzureRmAccount
Set-AzureRmContext -SubscriptionID $subscriptionID

# List appsettings
$resource = Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName <webSiteName>/appsettings -Action list -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -Force
$resource.Properties

# SET list
$appsettingTest1Value = "testValue1"
$appsettingTest2Value = "testValue2"
$PropertiesObject = @{
    appsettingTest1=$appsettingTest1Value,
    appsettingTest2=$appsettingTest2Value,
    WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION: "4.4.7"
  }
New-AzureRmResource -PropertyObject $PropertiesObject -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName <webSiteName>/appsettings -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -Force

With ARM Deployment JSON

Answer 1

   $webapp = Get-AzureRmWebApp -Name $webSiteName
   $webapp.SiteConfig.AppSettings

Answer 2

Here what I have in my ARM template, and it works fine:

  "resources": [
    {
      "apiVersion": "2015-08-01",
      "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
      "type": "config",
      "name": "appsettings",
      "dependsOn": [
        "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/Sites', variables('webSiteName'))]"
      ],
      "properties": {...}
    },
    {
      "apiVersion": "2015-08-01",
      "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
      "type": "config",
      "name": "web",
      "dependsOn": [
        "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/Sites', variables('webSiteName'))]"
      ],
      "properties": {
        "alwaysOn": true
      }]

As you can see I set AppSettings as separate resource under website. Try it, should work.

Hope it helps.
