Page 27 of the manual shows which pins on the GPIO are 5v or 3.3v. I haven’t tried my 5v rated fan on 3.3v yet but that’s if your fan is too loud and you want to spin slower.

If you have a 3 wire fan can the 3rd (white wire be ignored or does it have to be combined with the positive or negative wire?. Also do any other scrips need to be added to the SD card to get the fan to work, or should it work as soon as you power on the NANO?

With Some modding to the fan connector you miiight be able to fit it (edit: looking at the connector now I can see it is probably not possible), it's too wide like it is, but 5V and GND are "opposite" each other on the GPIO header.
The white wire can be ignored, I usually do this, don't know if it works with all fans but probably does.
You don't need any scripts or anything, just connect 5V to red and GND to black.

Yeah i managed to find a thin connector that fits BUT i just noticed the fan i was going to use is 12v and doesnt spin when ive connected it up to the GPIO header. Is there another location on the board that may have be 9v or 12v?

The Arduino header actually has a 9V (VCC9) output also, I don't know how much current it can deliver though. Look at page 30 of the Terasic DE10-Nano manual.
