the sign 'next' uses both hands. With both hands, curl the fingers in with the index finger and thumb outstretched to make the L hand shape. Leave the non-dominant hand stationary at the chest, with the thumb pointed up. Use the index finger of the dominant hand to tap the thumb of the non-dominant, then the index finger of the non-dominant.
Sign 'who', then perform the 'next' sign by tapping your dominant index finger on your non-dominant thumb, followed by the non-dominant index finger.
Sign 'what', 'happen', and then use the 'L' handshape motion described to ask what the following event in the sequence will be.
Point to yourself for 'I', then execute the 'next' sign by making two distinct taps with your dominant index finger along your stationary non-dominant 'L' hand.

Generally, no. This specific 'L' handshape sign is best used for sequences, like 'next in line' or 'the next item on the list.' Time-related concepts like 'next week' have their own specific signs that incorporate the movement of a calendar.
Yes, your non-dominant hand should always be the stationary one acting as the base. Your dominant hand should be the one doing the active tapping motion.
You should make two distinct taps. Tap the thumb first, lift your dominant index finger slightly, and then tap the non-dominant index finger. Sliding can make the sign look messy and harder to understand.
