Just to be sure, is the verb being used here 燥ぐ?

I'm not really sure about this, but does 都外 mean ''outside the metropolis"?

3. What might the kanji before 事 be?

4. ここが男の見せどころ!!?
I'm assuming that 見せどころ a combination of 見せる and ところ, and the guy is thinking "Isn't this the time for a man to prove himself?". Did I get anything wrong here?
1. Yes, but it is written in kana 99.99% of the time.

2. 「都外」 means "outside of Tokyo". Tokyo's official name is 「東京都」.

In Japan, there are 47 prefectures. Among them, one is called with 「都(と)」, which of course is Tokyo as we just discussed. One is called with 「道(どう)」, which is Hokkaido. Two are called with 「府(ふ)」, which are Osaka and Kyoto. The remaining 43 are all called with 「県(けん)」.

「都道府県(とどうふけん)」 is a good word to know for anyone.

3. 「返事」

4. Correct. "A chance to show one's skill"
