I have an old Nano tghat I would like to put other music on from my iTunes accound on my laptop, but my iTunes right n ow is for my Classic. Will there be any problem plugginjg in my old Nano and putting some of my tunes on it? Will it corrupt my Classic the next time I plug it in? Sorry if this explanation is a little simplistic, I'm not real tech savvy...😉

You can sync as many different devices to a single computer/iTunes account as you like.
The first time you connect your Nano, iTunes will ask if you want to delete its current contents and sync it to your computer's iTunes Library. Just say "yes" and go on from there. This will have no effect on your Classic or any other device.
I think I know what you mean. If I plug in my 3 Gig Nano, itunes will ask if I want to delete its contents, and I say 'yes'. But it's only 3 gigs and my itunes has 7+ gigs of music. SO do I load the newly blanked out nano witrh what I want up to 3 gigs? And then when I re-plug in my Classic, it will look the same and not ask me if I want to delete its content? Again, sorry if I seem dense...

Not at all.
You'll have two options: First, to load only "checked" songs onto the Nano. Second, to "manually manage" the Nano. Since it's only 3gb and you have more than 7gb of music, you'll probably find it easier to "manually manage" it. That means you'll drag over each song or album or selected group of songs from your iTunes Library to your Nano. It's even easier than it sounds:

And none of that will have any effect whatsoever on the Classic.
Will this have any effect on my iPhone 4 with 5.0.1 on it? I also synch that with iTunes. Forgot to add that my iTunes is version 10.
As I said above, "This will have no effect on your Classic OR ANY OTHER DEVICE."
Can I synch an old Nano to iTunes that I use for my iPod Classic?
