In Russia it is mostly Old Church Slavonic or Russian. In other countries it is the national language for example in USA English is the language of choice but in many areas where the population is largely Russian than they will use Russian and Old Church Slavonic or a combination of several of them.
Orthodox Christians do not refer to it as mass, but the Divine Liturgy. What language it is performed in depends on the church's ethnicity, though most Orthodox churches in America do it mostly in English. If it is a Greek church, then it is partially in Greek; if Russian, then in Russian; etc. But, like I said, the majority is done in English. In Antiochian Orthodox Churches, the entire liturgy is in English.
That depends on which country you live in and which language is spoken by the majority of the congregation. There is not one specific language used in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Churches in Japan use Japanese for their services, and Orthodox Churches in the USA, Britain and Australia should use English for their services. However, where there is a specific need to accommodate the needs of a particular parish, the language spoken by those parishioners can also be used. The Orthodox Church does not believe that there is such a thing as a 'holy language' or a 'liturgical language' because the Bible states that the language to be used in the church must be one that is understood by the people (I Corinthians 14:19).
Ivan the Great primarily spoke Old Church Slavonic, which was the liturgical language of the Russian Orthodox Church. He may have also spoken Russian, as well as Tatar due to interactions with the Tatar-Mongol Khanate to the south.
