1) Can I use Outwit with a character with two action tokens placed on him already?
2) Can I use Outwit then make an attack? (ie Use Batman to outwit Juggernaut's Invulnerability then make an attack?)
3) Say i have R Lobster Johnson (Indy) and E Batman (Icons) with LOF to the same Juggernaut and Superman. Could I use both Outwit actions before I make either attack so that I can take off both Jugg's and Supes' Invulnerability before attempting to deal damage?
1) Can I use Outwit with a character with two action tokens placed on him already?
Yes, Outwit is a free action and the use of free actions is independent of the number of tokens placed on a character. Also, unless the description of the free action specifically says otherwise (i.e. CSA team ability), no tokens are ever placed as a result of a free action.

Yes. Again, Outwit is a free action; it has no impact on other actions. However, note that in its description, Outwit specifically says that it may not be used during another action. So if you have a character like U Flash, you could not run up to someone with HSS, Outwit them, hit them, then run away again. You would have to use Outwit either before or after the HSS movement.

Yes. Outwit is a free action.

Thanks a bunch, I've been confused on Outwit.
You're welcome! However, it seems to me that it is not Outwit confusing you so much as your understanding of free actions in general. Here's the definition of a free action (Icons rule book, page 16):
FREE ACTIONS
Some game effects, like powers, team abilities, and feats, require a free action to activate them, or allow a character to do something as a free action after giving the character another kind of action, such as a power action or a move action. Characters do not receive action tokens for free actions and the free action does not count as one of your available actions for the turn.
A character or force may take any number of free actions in a turn, but only as their powers and team abilities dictate. A free action may be used to perform a close combat, ranged combat, move, or power action; in each case, the description of the free action will indicate what other type of action may be used.
