Was there ever an aircraft carrier named after Doolittle?
Telephoneguy
No, not to my knowledge. Doolittle flew from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet with the USS Enterprise carrying fighters for defense. After Japan was bombed, Roosevelt said that the American bombers flew from Shangri-La (the mythical perfect land in the Himalayas) and afterward an Essex-class aircraft carrier was named USS Shangri-La.

Did the pilots during World War 2 that flew off the navy carriers fall under the army air corp or where they navy?
US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
