No, the B-36 Bomber did not carry the U-2 spyplane that Francis Gary Powers was flying when he was shot down. The U-2 was a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed, and it operated independently on its missions. Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union in May 1960 while flying a U-2, which was specifically designed for high-altitude surveillance, not transported by bombers like the B-36.

Why were the u-2 pilots required to carry a suicide pill?

They weren't required to. The idea was, a U-2 is a spyplane flying over enemy territory so the enemy would probably do very bad things to them if they were captured, so the pilots had the option of carrying a "L-pill" with them on their flights. Most of the pilots refused to carry it.
