in illustrator welding is called "merge".  it's located in the pathfinder pallete, along with the functions to intersect, exclude (punch), trim, crop, etc.

To "Weld" verticies or anchor points, hit "A" for the direct selection tool(White Arrow on your tool bar), select desired anchorpoints you want welded, right click then hit "JOIN".  Now your points are connected.
