Will the gtx 1060 surpass gtx 970 like the gtx 1070 does the gtx 980 and when will gtx 1060 release..

Kind of hard to know as this card hasn't been announced. Depends on how stripped down nVidia makes it. If history is any indicator, the card new card released usually beats the card its replacing offering the performance of the tier above it on the older architecture. So it' may not surpass it, but it will likely meet it's performance.

Unless AMD's talking about Polaris is just a snow job, Polaris is more of an architectural refinement to lower power but offer the same performance. If that's true, then nVidia has no reason to push their performance too high to still remain the top dog while keeping prices in check.

from leaks online the 1060 using the same chip as the 1070 just cut down and 192 bit bus and 6g of ram. there looking at this card to come it at the same speed as the old 980 line. as this card going to go head to head with amd new 10 card.
