Yes.

Sort-of.

That is to say, yes you should, but it's common practice to omit
the test, on the dubious grounds that if pool allocation fails,
then your error handling is pretty-much going to fail for the
same reason so it's pointless.

With apr exploring entirely different allocators, that excuse
looks ever more suspect.  So, yes, you're right.
