No they were not. Pompeii was destroyed in 79 BC. It is now thought that Atlantis was the Greek island of Santorini, which in antiquity was called Thera. It is a volcanic island. Most of the island collapsed into the sea in a Volcanic eruption which is thought to have occurred in the mid-second millennium BC.

But we have to keep in mind that the philosopher Plato in a book he wrote came up with the concept of an "ideal" society he called Atlantis and which according to him was sunk into the ocean as a punishment by the Gods right after they had supposedly tried to attack Athens. So Atlantis may also have been completely made up by him.

How many people were killed when the volcano in Pompeii erupted?

We don't know and probably never will know. There were other towns beside Pompeii that were destroyed and lives were lost. Pompeii itself, is not fully excavated. We have no census of the area at the time of the eruption, so we don't know how many people even lived around there. So it's unlikely that we will ever get a true count of all the lives lost.
