No Nixon did not go to jail, he resigned before his impeachment was completed in the House. Nixon was not brought to trail before the Senate and Ford pardoned him, thereby preventing any possible prosecution after the resignation. A good source for this is shown below, if you go towards the end of the article you will find the information about the pardon. The whole page is actually very good, giving you all the details about the impeachment including the wording of the Articles of Impeachment for Nixon.

No he never went to jail. Gerald R. Ford pardoned him. You are referring to the famous watergate scandal. Try this link for more info on that.

No, he was tried before a military tribunal, shot by a firing squad, and buried head-first in the desert near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Can you not do your own research?
