bassa1)What are you going to do in the summer.

Yes, it means the coming summer, but we normally say it like this: What are you going to do this summer?

bassa2)"It is not a question to be asked." or "It is not a question to ask."? What is the difference?

Neither is very idiomatic. The first one is like this: That's not a question that should be asked. Or like this: It's not one of the questions on the list of questions we have to ask. I don't really understand the context. The second might be trying to say the same as the first. When would you use these?

bassa3)Which one is correct "~~Outsside~~ Nashville" or "Outside Nashville"?

Only the second is correct.

What is the difference between these two sentences?

"I went outside Nashville." and "I went outside of Nashville."

bassa"I went outside Nashville." and "I went outside of Nashville."

Both "outside" and "outside of" are OK. "of" is optional.
