All,

What exactly is  "pool"?

A group of machines and their associated Central Manager?


Yep.

Can multiple central managers (having their own exclusive pools) talk to each other?


You can federate multiple Condor pools together via various mechanisms, the most straight-forward is via "Flocking". This works not by having the central managers talk to each other, but instead a given submit node (more precisely, a condor_schedd process) is configured to talk to additional central managers to find a machine.
