To answer the question, "can an overdose of anesthesia cause death", the simple answer is yes.
HOWEVER, anesthesia is a state of unconsciousness that is adjusted to the patient and the surgical procedure. There are no formulas or paradigms that one can assume and "dial in".
An anesthesiologist provides to a patient what they "need". The need is determined by what happens in the operating room, what the surgeon requires and what the patient can tolerate. There is no auto-pilot.
As to your fear, I have no magic bullet to share with you to take it away. HOWEVER, keep in mind that the day you have surgery, that day you are likely to drive or be driven to the surgery center or hospital where you will have surgery, and being in a vehicle is way more dangerous than having anesthesia, and yet you probably get in a vehicle regularly and never give it a second thought.
Life is filled with hazards, but back surgery is done all the time, though there are many types. For perspective, I have provided probably close to 20,000 anesthetics in my career and no one has ever died in the operating room OR under my care. I suspect your anesthesiologist should offer a similar experience. In life, bad things happen and we control very little, but anesthesia care should be overall safe for you.

I need to undergo a nail removal treatment. Will anesthesia have to be administered for this?

First of all, if you have a foot injury, I would make sure to have the opinion of an orthopedist, who specializes in foot and ankle surgery or a podiatrist take a look at your problem. A chipped nail may not need to be removed. With this said, if you choose to have the nail removed, I would suspect that you will need anesthesia as it would otherwise potentially be a painful procedure. I do not really have enough details to give a complete answer. If the toe is the issue, you should be able to have a local anesthetic injection to numb the toe. You should not need a general anesthetic, however, the injections can be briefly uncomfortable as they are injections.
