There is only one type called fascia. It has different names depending on its location. The three are: endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium.
epimysium
The term used to describe the outer layer of a muscle is the epimysium.
Yes, the connective tissues of the epimysium contain the blood vessels and nerves that supply the muscle fibers
No, only endomysium. Likewise for Cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is the only one with epimysium (which is continuous with fascia) perimysium and endomysium.

Epimysium.
The layer around the whole muscle is known as the epimysium. It protects the muscle and helps transmit force generated by the muscle to the tendons.
A whole muscle is surrounded by epimysium, which is type of connective tissue called fascia. If it surrounds a muscle or a functional muscle group, the outer covering of connective tissue (fascia) is called deep fascia.
Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium are made of dense irregular connective tissue. Epimysium surrounds the entire muscle, perimysium surrounds bundles of muscle fibers called fascicles, and endomysium surrounds individual muscle fibers.
