So, iOS 4.2.1 is the same as iOS 4.2.1 GM Edition?
No. iOS 4.2 GM is the official 4.2 firmware, iOS 4.2.1 never had a GM, it went straight to iTunes.

use firmware umbrella to downgrade, the 2G is a tethered JB i think
If your iPod has a model No. that starts with “MC”, then the IPSW for Jailbreak has not been released yet. You have to monitor its release from a couple of weeks from now or so.
