  • No, that is just confusing (even when corrected by me): both actions occur on the same day.
  • Next Monday, I'll do this and that.

I'm not sure about your 2nd answer. I meant on Monday which is coming in 3 days, I'll do x, and on Monday which is 10 days ahead, I'll do y. If my sentence is incorrect, can you give me a few examples of how to correct it?

No; 'this coming Monday' and 'next Monday' are the same day; I have already told you that. You will have to use something like 'the Monday after next' if you wish to differentiate.

Or you could say "On Monday/this Monday/next Monday I'll do this" (all three refer to the same day) and "on the following Monday (a week later) I'll do something else."

NEXT bears reference to an earlier stated time. E. g. 'I may pay a visit this Monday or the next.' If there is no such reference point, THE PRESENT is the default reference point, wherefore COMING MONDAY is apter than NEXT MONDAY. Is my understanding right?

English is very unclear about the coming days of the week.
Some refer to the coming Monday as "this Monday" and some refer to it as "next Monday". Others refer to "next Monday" as the one after the coming Monday!

Best thing is to specify the date otherwise confusion reign
