Answer 1

If you want to pick value of first item then you should do like this-

var item0 = _config.GetSection("MyArray:0");

If you want to pick value of entire array then you should do like this-

IConfigurationSection myArraySection = _config.GetSection("MyArray");
var itemArray = myArraySection.AsEnumerable();

Ideally, you should consider using options pattern suggested by official documentation. This will give you more benefits.
