We have an Active Directory domain sitting on a networked Azure VM and have a separate Azure WebApp/Website that is running Orchard CMS on the same virtual network.
Do webapps support windows authentication for connecting to Active Directory? If so, how do I go about setting it up in IIS?

App Service provides authentication, but doesn't restrict authorized access to your site content and APIs. You must authorize users in your app code. (Optional) To restrict access to Microsoft account users, set Action to take when request is not authenticated to Log in with Azure Active Directory.
In the Azure portal menu, select Resource groups, or search for and select Resource groups from any page. In Resource groups, find and select your resource group. In Overview, select your app's management page. On your app's left menu, select Authentication, and then click Add identity provider.
On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Control Panel. In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows Features on or off. Expand Internet Information Services, then World Wide Web Services, then Security. Select Windows Authentication, and then click OK.
No, it's not possible. In order to have Windows Authentication is something for on-premise deployments. For Azure Web Sites Azure Active Directory is clearly the best option. Sync from AD to Azure Active Directory is also quite easy to setup.
If you still want to absolutely use Windows Auth and host your website on Azure, you can create Windows VM and host your website there. You then need to join the VM to your AD. To this, both VMs must be in the same network. So if your VM is on-premise you will need to create an site-to-site VPN

Yes, you can connect your web app to Azure Active Directory.
The simplest option is Azure Easy Authentication
