These methods were in the Application_Start method in the global.asax file in older versions of the template. They were moved to separate class files in order to keep the global.asax file clean. The WebAPI one is there as a convienience; you can remove it (and the line that calls it in global.asax) if you aren't using WebAPI.
The web.config file in the views folder holds configuration settings for your view engine, and keeps the main web.config file clean. You should never need to do anything with the web.config in the Views folder.
