    Search for Redsn0w from the iPhone dev team. I'm almost sure 4.2.1 is supported for untethered jailbreak. It's a very simple tool. Jailbreaking with it takes 5-10minutes only. You just need to follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the tool and you're good to go.

    'Un-jailbreaking' can be done with restoring the firmware back to your iOS device. In order to restore your device to a lower firmware than the most current one (5), you'll need your 'SHSH' blobs though. That's a bit more complicated, but I'm sure a google search can answer that quickly

    If you want to restore or 'unjailbreak' your jailbroken 4.2.1 device, you will manually need to download the firmware, but only if you want to stay on iOS 4.2.1. On top of that, you'll need your SHSH blobs. But this is only true if you want to restore your device to the older 4.2.1 firmware. If you want to just restore your device to iOS 5, you don't need any of that. SHSH blobs can either be stored using Cydia or a tool called 'Tinyumbrella'.

    To be honest, I would just upgrade to the latest firmware (iOS 5), and use a tethered jailbreak. You can always untether it later, when an untethered jailbreak becomes available. The only thing you have to be careful with, is not letting your battery die, or you will need a PC/Mac to reboot it again. Resetting your device can basically be done without rebooting too btw, so wanting an untethered jailbreak just in order to freshly start your device is not really necessary. I'm running iOS 5 on both iPad and iPhone (4), both tethered btw.

    Whys your firmware so low? If you restore from jailbreak then you'll have to go to ios 5. 4.2.1 doesn't even exist through iTunes anymore. Try going to jailbreakme.com on safari in your iPod and see if your device is compatible. If so, you can JB it on the spot without a computer.

    But you should probably back everything up on iTunes.

    What's the point of jail breaking if you have no wifi? You won't be able to do anything without it, since you get everything through Cydia on your device. At this point youre jail breaking it just to have it jailbroken

    What gen is your iPod? If it's an old one you can downgrade without shsh blobs. As for jb tools I suggest pwnage tool.
    And I just saw that there's a semi-tethered jailbreak for ios5.
    Backing up blobs with timyumbrella is a good idea whatever the case though.

    If you ever want a lower firmware just download the ipsw of the version you want and shift restore in iTunes. This only applies to older devices (no blobs needed to do this)

    JB'ng your device can really mess it up if you don't know what youre doing. my friend did it to her ipod a while back, then screen went black and she had to purchase a new one. With all the guides they have out there, itd be pretty difficult to mess up.

    So it is a good idea to just leave it as it is? Also Apple doesn't approve jailbreaking so isn't it illegal?

    Depends on how badly you want to jailbreak it. Apple frowns upon it, an although they would love to make it illegal, they can't. You can do anything you want with your property, pretty much. So jailbreaking is 100% legal. However, Apple discourages their members by saying once you jailbreak the device it'll void your warranty, but if you restore it (reset back to factory settings) they won't notice.
