Sorry if this has been asked before, but...

1) Do they age?

2) If so how long do they live?

3) A character thats become a 20th level monk becomes an outside... if outsiders live forever does my character too?

thanks in advance

Until they are killed.

Yep

Atleast, IMC.

A monk is more of an Outsider (native) from what I know, and thus ages normally.

Plus it says in some other feature of the monk that they still die of old age though they don't look it...

On the immortalness of outsiders...no one has been able to figure it out yet, it takes long time to observe if an outsider is immortal or not ;)

They don't 'age' in the sense that mortals do. They don't die of old age, and of those outsiders that reproduce sexually (some Tanar'ri, all Yugoloths can but generally don't like to, etc) while they mature they don't age beyond that point into old age in the way that mortals do.


2) If so how long do they live?

Immortal.


3) A character thats become a 20th level monk becomes an outside... if outsiders live forever does my character too?

There's a huge difference between an outsider and a native outsider. Native outsiders still age, even if they don't outwardly show it, and they still die of old age. High level monks may live to be a hundred and five but they'll look 30 or so when their body just gives out eventually.
