Where would Apollo 11 right be if it had bypassed the Moon and kept going towards the outer Solar System?

Right about where it is now. There wasn't much spare power on Apollo 11. It didn't have anywhere near enough to make it another planet. It didn't even have enough to reach Earth's escape velocity, at least not with the life support and lunar landing gear attached to it.
The Apollo mission could have gone a bit further, since it had to pack enough fuel to get people back. But it couldn't go far: that fuel was only enough to break out of the moon's much smaller gravitational well and lose some of its orbital velocity. Maybe it could go another 20,000 to 50,000 miles up, but not all that far.
The Saturn V part of Apollo 11 could have launched rockets out of the solar system; the smaller Titan/Centaur rockets launched the Voyager and Pioneer probes that far. But the manned capsule was far, far heavier and wouldn't have made it much further.
