When I try to update conda, I was told to execute conda update -n base conda, does this mean that the conda tool is installed in the base environment? Or the conda tool is installed out of any environment?

Method 1
Yes. On all typical1 distributions it is always installed in the base environment.2 One can check all environments with the conda package installed with:
conda search --envs conda
It is possible to be installed elsewhere, in addition to base, but the base copy will be the default when not available in the currently activated environment.

[2]: In older Anaconda installations, base was previously termed root.
