Me and my 4 year old planted 2 tomatoes in pots, 1 cherry and 1 grape. One of the pots I used previously held a 2 year old Thai dragon pepper (I think?) until it froze this winter. Didn't really think a thing of it, pulled out the old pepper, turned over the soil, planted tomato.

I saved some of the old peppers this winter and I recently put some of the pepper seeds in a different small pot to sprout. They are coming up good, then this weekend noticed many of same looking sprouts (leaves) coming up in the pot with my tomato.

Makes sense, pepper was in there before and lots of peppers fell off in the soil.

Sorry this is lengthy, but all that leading to my question.... If these are a bunch of pepper plants coming up from residual seeds in that pot, can I expect spicier than usual cherry tomatoes?

Also, if any of you want a Thai Dragon Pepper plant, I'm pretty sure I have a ton These things are bullets, high yield, make me sweat when eating and are as hot as any pepper I would want to eat with food.

Not unless the capsaicin rubs off on your tomatoes. They can't cross pollinate, if that's what you're getting at. Even things that can cross pollinate, it usually only affects the next generation of plants grown from seeds of the cross pollinated plant.
