A pool will not provide much protection it is better to be inside a sturdy building. However, the low position of an in-ground pool is better than simply being on the surface.
Another major risk, though, is lighting, as tornadoes occur during thunderstorms. You should never go in water during a thunderstorm.
Water that is sucked out of a pool by a tornado typically gets carried by the strong winds within the tornado and can be deposited elsewhere. The water may evaporate if exposed to air or can contribute to flash flooding if deposited on the ground in a concentrated manner.
A tornado that doesn't touch the ground isn't a tornado; it is a funnel cloud. However if the funnel is pulling debris off the ground or making some other type of contact with the ground it is a tornado.
A funnel cloud that touches the ground is commonly known as a tornado.
When a tornado has not touched the ground yet, it is called a funnel cloud. A funnel cloud is a rotating cone-shaped cloud descending from the base of a thunderstorm but not reaching the ground. Once it touches the ground, it is classified as a tornado.
True. A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground, and when it touches the ground it is then classified as a tornado. The funnel cloud is the visible condensation funnel attached to the rotating column of air but becomes a tornado once it touches the ground.
You could survive, but the car would have to be attached to the ground.

A tornado often appears dark were it is touching the ground be cause the powerful winds of the tornado lift dirt from the ground.
The intensity of a tornado is rated based on damage done on the ground.
The Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado of 2011 was on the ground for about 90 minutes.

No, a funnel cloud is not a tornado. A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air that does not touch the ground. If a funnel cloud reaches the ground, it becomes a tornado.

Most of them touch down on ground.
