Here is the Salesforce documentation for the tag: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_compref_inlineEditSupport.htm

Everything you should have questions on should be there but basically it helps adjust how you edit a field/value if you are using inline editing in your VF Page. You can adjust the behavior of how to edit the field I.E. onClick, ondblclick, etc., what buttons are displayed when editing, styles.
The documentation also states where it can be used, which is under any one of the following tags:

<apex:dataList>
<apex:dataTable>
<apex:form>
<apex:outputField>
<apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockTable>
<apex:repeat>

Regards,

Tyler

This component provides inline editing support to <apex:outputField> and various container components. In order to support inline editing, this component must also be within an <apex:form> tag.
The <apex:inlineEditSupport> component can only be a descendant of the following tags:
<apex:dataList>
<apex:dataTable>
<apex:form>
<apex:outputField>
<apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockTable>
<apex:repeat>

Hi Surender reddy Salukuti,
apex:inlineEditSupport
This component provides inline editing support to <apex:outputField> and various container components. In order to support inline editing, this component must also be within an <apex:form> tag.

The <apex:inlineEditSupport> component can only be a descendant of the following tags:
<apex:dataList>
<apex:dataTable>
<apex:form>
<apex:outputField>
<apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockTable>
<apex:repeat>


For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page
with a valid contact record in the URL.
For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the contact ID, the resulting URL should be:
https://Salesforce_instance/apex/myPage?id=001D000000IRt53

<apex:page standardController="Contact">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock mode="inlineEdit">
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton action="{!edit}" id="editButton" value="Edit"/>
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" id="saveButton" value="Save"/>
                <apex:commandButton onclick="resetInlineEdit()" id="cancelButton" value="Cancel"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:pageBlockSection >
                <apex:outputField value="{!contact.lastname}">
                    <apex:inlineEditSupport showOnEdit="saveButton, cancelButton"
                        hideOnEdit="editButton" event="ondblclick"
                        changedStyleClass="myBoldClass" resetFunction="resetInlineEdit"/>
                </apex:outputField>
                <apex:outputField value="{!contact.accountId}"/>
                <apex:outputField value="{!contact.phone}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,
