Lets say I have an MVC project called Test123. When I publish it from VS in the bin folder I have all referensed non-global(?) DLLs and Test123.dll. What is the purpose of this last file? Can I safely delete it? I thought ASP.NET will compile the site on 1st access.

Your assumption is wrong. In Asp.net MVC only the views are compiled on 1st access. The models and controllers will be precompiled into a DLL. Remove it, and your project will not run.
