Can reverse of those also be correct, shown as below?

- Древние славяне были язычниками.

- В древности славяне были язычники.

Formally, the second is correct, but sound very odd.

Normally you pose a question and want an answer. The questioning is then finished: Можно спросить?

Можно спрашивать? is more in the way of: "May I keep asking questions? May I ask again and again?" Then it is unfinished.

Am I right?

Found one expression in one of my Russian conversational guide which I am a bit puzzled of.

- Вам есть где спать?

Should this above sentence not be as below sentence?

- У Вас есть где спать?

Нет. Вам есть где спать? - правильный вариант. Это как Мне есть чем заняться.
Мне негде спать - Мне есть где спать.

I would say, У Вас есть где спать? means something like "Do you have somewhere a place to sleep?", but Вам есть где спать? "Is there somewhere a place to sleep for you?"

So no big difference.
