Not quite "the" config file, but these days you can set the threadpool worker maximum using runtimeconfig.json:

{
   "runtimeOptions": {
      "configProperties": {
         "System.Threading.ThreadPool.MaxThreads": 20
      }
   }
}

I have not tried this myself (yet).

Not directly. But you could read the desired value of maximum number of threads in the thread pool from a config file and pass the values to ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads.

But if you need to change the number of threads in the thread pool you should seriously consider rearchitecting your application.

Note, in particular:

Setting the thread pool size too large can cause performance problems. If too many threads are executing at the same time, the task switching overhead becomes a significant factor.

No - However, this can be set based on configuration values you read, by calling ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads.
