Will Interstate 70 be extended from Interstate 15 to Interstate 80 in Fernley NV or West Sacramento CA?

Not yet.

There have been plans to extend Interstate 70 for years using the entire route of U.S. Route 50 from the new alignment of Interstate 70 from Interstate 15 to U.S. Route 50 and then by either U.S. Route 50 Alternate in Fallon, NV and a new alignment of Interstate 11 and Interstate 70 from U.S. Route 50 Alternate in Fernley, NV to Interstate 80 in Fernley, NV at the junction of I-80 exit number 48 or U.S. Route 50 in Fallon, NV to Interstate 80 in West Sacramento, CA, where U.S. Route 50 ends at the freeway junction to Reno and San Francisco.

There are no plans to extend Interstate 70 using U.S. Route 6 because there is not enough traffic to justify the need for a freeway extension and it is not a direct route to California going through the Sierra Nevada mountains because it goes directly to Tonopah, NV, where it meets U.S. Route 95, which it will soon become Interstate 11 within the next coming years ahead by using a bypass alignment route to avoid going through downtown and U.S. Route 6 goes directly south to U.S. Route 395 in Bishop, CA, where U.S. Route 6 ends in downtown at the intersection.
