Answer 1

Web Jobs will not pick the variables from your release pipeline, instead it can get these variables/settings from the web app's appsettings section.
You can do that manually by setting the appsettings for the web app in Azure Portal by following this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/web-sites-configure
Or you can do it automatically by changing web.config/appsettings using transformation tasks in your release pipeline as instructed in this link
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/transforms-variable-substitution?view=azure-devops
As for the web jobs deployment:
If you added the web jobs from visual studio, it will add a file under the properties folder in your web app called webjobs-list.json. If it is not there, then add it and the content should be similar to:
{
"$schema": "http://schemastore.org/schemas/json/webjobs-list.json",
"WebJobs": [
{
"filePath": "../webjob1.csproj"
},
{
"filePath": "../webjob2.csproj"
},
{
"filePath": "../webjob3.csproj"
}
]
}
