Yes. The account of Samuel anointing Saul is found in 1 Samuel 9 and 10, and his anointing of David is found in 1 Samuel 16.

No. Depending on the source you prefer, either Samuel anointed David, or the elders of Israel anointed him. In 1 Samuel, God was angry with King Saul for disobeying Samuel's instructions to utterly destroy the Amaleks and all their animals, so Samuel secretly anointed David to replace Saul as king. The Book of Chronicles contains no mention of Samuel's role in anointing Saul as king - the elders of Israel simply joined in anointing David king by acclamation, in gratitude for his leadership under Saul.

David was anointed king while Saul was still in charge because God had rejected Saul as king due to his disobedience and failure to follow divine commands.

This anointing was meant to signify God's choice of David as the future king of Israel, despite Saul remaining in power at that time. The situation ultimately set the stage for the conflicts and events that followed in the biblical narrative.
