That depends on what you mean by "old". With a few exceptions, works published prior to 1923 are in the public domain and can be used freely without permission. Works after that date would have to be researched to determine their copyright status.

Would it be illegal to download Naruto fandubbed episodes and some fandubbed music and then put it onto a blu ray disc and make your own custom blu ray but not sell it?

All created material is copyright, whether commercially generated or not. Making a copy of any copyright material is against copyright laws in most jurisdictions. Distributing such material is considered more serious but it is the copying that is against the law. Making a custom disc is therefore in breach of copyright. WikiAnswers cannot endorse or condone any breach of the law. One might consider if the owner of the copyright material would approve of the copying or not. If there is no commercial loss for anyone, the copyright holder may well ignore the breach.

If you use a third-party site to run an online store for example Spreadshirt or Redbubble can you then take the branding and personal store name to start your own business?

No. It copyright and you are not the copyright owner. If you have a contract to use the site to sell your products then you do so under your business name and not that of the hosts.I.e. If you sell from your own business through Amazon then you are not Amazon and your business name will appear as the "partner" retailer/supplier. If you give the impression through documents, graphics etc that you are the host then the host has a right to sue under breach of copyright.
