In the first example, the string "more/info/goes/here/after/file/name"
would be passed on to the CGI program, which would use that to
decide what image to return. It could, for example, look in the
directory more/info/goes/here/after/file and return the contents
of name.gif to the browser.
The second example is the standard way of passing information to
a CGI program.

No, it does not make sense. What are you trying to do?
There are lots of things that you can do without JavaScript,
so why do you think you need it?
The tracking counters I've seen look like
<img src="http://www.example.com/count?user=1234&page=index.html">
where user=1234 identifies the owner of the page being tracked
and page=index.html identifies which counter needs to be incremented.
