So I feel dumb asking but idk... how bad are these chips on the outside of the sleeve and what causes it.

It is caused by not changing your coolant often. Corrosion built up and ate away those parts. It is pretty common from what I have seen. It isn't ideal, but it shouldn't hurt you. Just torque your head gasket properly and it should seal. Notice I am saying should, because I am not going to guarantee that the rest of the metal is structurally sound. Corrosion weakens metal. Also, those are rather large chips compared to others I have seen. Those sleeves look nasty too. Where did you get this block?

It was a free one from someone who is doing work for me but what is that outside layer called/made of? And the bore just has dust in it it's been in a shop for a long time... should look better after it gets a hone down it once or twice

I would sleeve but I spent too much on the last one and just wanted to go with a stock bore on this build. Last one was sleeved by this guy:
