Answer 1

If it is on iis 6 or greater, there is a place you can create application pools. If you don't have a dedicated application pool for your application yet, create one. While creating you can set the default identity it should work with. You can set it to system defaults or a custom identity you've created...

Answer 2

You should change the identity for the application pool (not the website). So it's best to create a specific application pool for every site which needs specific user credentials.
