Answers:
1. Yes.
2. In the Eclipse client, you can click on Help -> About and that will tell you which version (i.e. version: 2.0.0.2). As for which iFix you have installed, you will need to open up the RTC Web UI and in the browser, click on the down arrow to the right of the button that has a question mark on it.
3. It appears that you have more than one change set in the "Outgoing" folder and RTC wants you to select which Change Set you want to focus on. This is what RTC Help has to say about "Set-current":
Specifying the current change set
A repository workspace can contain many active change sets but only one current change set. By default, the current change set accumulates all changes that you check in.
About this task
If you have more than one active change set in a workspace, one of them is identified as the current change set (the one in which all check-ins accumulate by default). If you want, you can specify a different change set as current. For example, you might need to resolve a defect immediately and deliver that change to the team without affecting another change set that you are working on.

For the record: We are on RTC v2.0.0.2 with iFix2.

1. is the RTC equal to Jazz?
2. How can I know which version of RTC I am using?
3. For an outgoing change set, I right click it and there is two options, complete and set-current, I wonder what the meaning of them?
Thanks and Best Wishes.

the distinction was not very clear and the terms were often used
interchangeably. But as things mature, and as new Jazz-based products
continue to be released, the difference between the Jazz (the platform)
and RTC (the product) is becoming more pronounced.
I don't know. But there may be multiple versions involved. The most
important one is the version of your server. If you are using the
Eclipse client or Visual Studio client, then you might also care about
the version of that client.
If a change set is complete, then the versions of the files associated
with the change set is fixed and may no longer be changed. You can't
add any new changes to a completed change set. (You can still edit the
comment and change the associated work items, but you can't make any
more changes to the actual files.) A change set will be completed
automatically if you deliver it, discard it, or create a baseline that
includes it. It is rare that I explicitly complete a change set, though
it has happened a few times. I usually rely on the implicit completion.
But not everyone works like me, and some use the "Complete" menu item
more frequently.
See Walter's message for a description of the current change set and the
"Set current" command.

Thanks all your answers, which are great. Now I really respect your professional behaviors.
