An outlier is a value that is way too small or way too large compared to other observations. There is no formal definition of what "way too" is.
Not sure about an outlair, but an outlier in a set of values is one that is significantly smaller or greater than the others. There is no formally agreed definition for an outlier.
By definition, an outlier will not have the same value as other data points in the dataset. So, the correct question is "What is the effect of an outlier on a dataset's mean." The answer is that the outlier moves the mean away from the value of the other 49 identical values. If the outlier is the "high tail" the mean is moved to a higher value. If the outlier is a "low tail" the mean is moved to a lower value.
