Jimmy Carter, who was in office from 1977-1981, never had an opportunity to nominate a US Supreme Court justice.
He (or she) is nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by a simple majority (51%) vote of the Senate. All Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the president; no person becomes a Supreme Court Justice without a presidential nomination. Nominees are then voted on by the Senate. If the Senate rejects a nominee, which does happen, then the president chooses another nominee. If the President selects an Associate Justice to become Chief Justice, he or she is said to be "elevated," rather than appointed. The Chief Justice remains Chief Justice until resignation (or death), and the person nominated by the president to take the vacant seat becomes the Chief Justice.
A US president cannot hold two government positions at the same time, nor can any other federal government official. Only one former US President has gone on to serve on the Supreme Court: William Howard Taft was Chief Justice from 1921-1930.

You did not include the names of "which men". We can't answer without that information.
US Supreme Court justices are called "Justice [Last name]." The Associate Justices were formerly referred to as Mr. Justice [Last name], but this tradition was abandoned when Justice Sandra Day O'Connor joined the Court, in deference to gender neutrality.Trial Court judges are usually addressed as "Your Honor," without benefit of last name. This is a sign of courtesy and respect, not a title.
The President does not have the power to dismiss Supreme Court Justices. Jefferson attempted in 1805 to secure the impeachment and removal of Justice Samuel Chase, but without success.

This Power is split between two branches. Neither can act without the other in terms of Supreme Court Justices.When a Supreme Court Justice either retires;, steps down;, becomes ineligible for public office;, or dies, the President (Executive Branch) has the authority to nominate a potential replacement. However, the President does not have the power to confirm the appointment.That Power lies with the Legislative Branch, specifically, the Senate.
No. President Roosevelt wrote a plan that would allow him to appoint one new justice for each current justice over the age of 70.5 years old, up to a maximum of six additional justices, which would expand the size of the Supreme Court from nine to fifteen. Congress understood the President's idea was unconstitutional, so they refused to pass the legislation. Eventually, the old members of the Supreme Court began retiring and passing away, so Roosevelt was able to appoint eight replacements without adding to the size of the Court.
PA Supreme Court Justice Gibson made that statement in an opinion in 1846 .

The process of nominating federal judges and Supreme Court justices is similar, but there are a few key differences. Federal judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, while Supreme Court justices go through the same process but with heightened scrutiny and public attention. Additionally, Supreme Court justices serve lifetime appointments, while federal judges may serve either lifetime or fixed terms depending on the specific court.

In New Jersey, a Supreme Court justice (as well as any Superior Court judge) is appointed for an initial seven year term. After that the justice (judge) becomes eligible for reappointment. If reappointed, the justice/judge serves until mandatory retirement age of 70 without further reappointment.
