I would like to nest asp.net web app within sitecore site, something like this:
<sitecore web root folder>
.
<virtual directory/app folder>
I want to access sitecore site by using following url:
http://<whatever site name>
and I would like to access web app by using following url:
http://<whatever site name>/<whatever virtual directory/app alias>
Is this possible?
I tried it but when I try to access my web app (not sitecore) then web app complains about missing sitecore.
I believe that is because now I have two config files ans when accessing web app iis/asp.net processing first sitecore web.config.

Method 1
Right, your assumption is correct. See Creating a project in a virtual directory under Sitecore root article for more information about this kind of setup.
Method 2
You should be able to create a virtual app under a Sitecore root path. Because its an app it will use its own app pool and you can have a web.config for it. I guess the physical files will be OUTSIDE of the Sitecore Website folder but the from a URL you can make the virtual app located anywhere below the Sitecore root.
