Yes, because that would be an over-release. release must be balanced by a preceding retain. But once an object has been added to an autorelease pool it is retained by the pool, so there's nothing you can do to deallocate it other than release the pool itself.

Is it actually retained by the pool, or does the pool just delay the final release?

It doesn't really matter how it's implemented... either way, you shouldn't release it unless you own it (i.e., you've retained it yourself or gotten it from one of the "ownership" methods such as copy, alloc, etc.).
