Are there any counties with a capital city? If countries have capital cities and states have capital cities, shouldn't counties have capital cities too? Are there any counties with a capital city?

All countries have a capital city. Some even have more than one like South Africa.

The "County Capital" is called the county seat. Every county has a county seat. Some of the county seats are also the capital city of that state. The county seat of Sacramento County in California is the city of Sacramento. That is also the state capital. My state of Nevada may be the odd man out. We used to have an Orsmby County, whose county seat was Carson City (also the capital of Nevada). Now, that county is called the Carson District.

A county usually has a "county seat" rather than a "capital".

They're called the county seat and it's where the county courthouse is located.

Counties have what are called county seats. That is where the county courthouse is and the sheriff's department.
