Couple of questions
"Give pool to a Methuselah with no pool to keep him or her in the game; put this card in play."1) Who controls Life boon? I mean, if i play life boon on someone and then he dies, is it removed from game or goes into my discard pile?
"Put this card in play" means you put it in play under your control since you play it. You don't play it "on" someone.
If the Methuselah you gave pool to is ousted, the card stays in play with no effect.
Basically, Undead Persistence says "the vampire will not go to torpor until combat ends". Typically, you go to torpor when taking too much normal damage, taking at least 1 aggravated damage, or being affected by some cards (eg. Coma) that sends you to torpor. As you can see, it's not necessarily related to being wounded.2) How does Undead Persistence work? You play one and you can't go into torpor by normal damage or you have to play one each time you'd go into torpor?
Nevertheless, if your vampire is wounded, he doesn't go to torpor thanks to Undead Persistence but he can still be burned with aggravated damage for instance.
See section 6.4.6 of the rulebook:(the whole wounded vs normal damage was very hard to understand, I'm glad it happened in a casual game because it would have been very tough to rule)
For each point of damage inflicted on a vampire, he must burn one blood to heal the damage. A vampire can burn all of his blood if needed, and doing so does not have any other negative effects on the vampire. If a vampire cannot heal all the damage (i.e., more damage is inflicted than he has blood with which to heal), he burns blood to heal what damage he can, and the unhealed damage leaves him wounded. A wounded vampire is moved to torpor after the remaining damage is handled (see Torpor, sec. 6.5).
Some damage is described as aggravated damage, such as damage from fire or sunlight or from the claws or fangs of some other immortal creatures, including some vampires. Aggravated damage differs from normal damage in two ways: Aggravated damage cannot be healed, and aggravated damage can burn a vampire if that vampire is already wounded. Aggravated damage is damage that a vampire cannot heal. Since it cannot be healed, the vampire doesn't burn any blood to heal it, but instead becomes wounded (unless the damage is prevented, of course).
Aggravated damage done to a wounded vampire can burn the vampire outright. A wounded vampire is one that has taken damage that he failed to heal or one that is in torpor or on his way to torpor. For each point of aggravated damage that is successfully inflicted on a wounded vampire, he must burn a blood to prevent his destruction. If he doesn't have enough blood, he is burned. Destruction by this method does not constitute diablerie (see Diablerie, sec. 6.5.5).

Being wounded by damage or other effects sends you to torpor.
If a vampire cannot heal all the damage (i.e., more damage is inflicted than he has blood with which to heal), he burns blood to heal what damage he can, and the unhealed damage leaves him wounded. A wounded vampire is moved to torpor after the remaining damage is handled (see Torpor, sec. 6.5).

A vampire who is wounded (torporized by some effect, like aggravated damage,
that he fails to prevent or cancel) but who plays Undead Persistence to
avoid going to torpor immediately is still wounded.
But also the reverse: Going to torpor makes you "wounded".
Wounded: A vampire who has received damage that he has not healed or a vampire in torpor or on his way to torpor is said to be wounded.
So both "being wounded" and "send to torpor" are equivalent.
However you're send to torpor/being wounded, Undead Persistence will keep you ready (but still wounded).
