Answer 1

Add to your, keeping existing elements, web.config:

<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true">
   <assemblies> 
 <add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit"/>
   </assemblies>
</compilation>
<pages>
  <controls>
<add assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagPrefix="ajax" />   
  </controls> 
</pages>

The example i gave is assuming the dll will be packaged and deployed to your bin directory. If you are GAC'ing let me know and i will update.
