ellipses do have asymptotes, but they are imaginary, so they are generally not considered asymptotes.
If the equation of the ellipse is in the form
a(x-h)^2 + b(y-k)^2 = 1
then the asymptotes are the lines
a(y-k)+bi(x-h)=0
ai(y-k)+b(x-h)=0
the intersection of the asymptotes is the center of the ellipse.

Can the foci of an ellipse can be outside the ellipse?
No. Both foci are always inside the ellipse, otherwise you don't have an ellipse.

What are the slopes of the hyperbola's asymptotes?
If a hyperbola is vertical, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- a/b. If a hyperbola is horizontal, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- b/a.

Why are asymptotes important characteristics of rational functions?
Asymptotes are one way - not the only way, but one of several - to analyze the general behavior of a function.
