Try something like this

&{foreach($cluster in Get-cluster ){
  Get-VM -Location $cluster |
  where {$_.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsVersionStatus -ne "guestToolsCurrent"} |
  Select @{N="Cluster";E={$cluster.Name}},
    Name,
    @{N="Tools Status";E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsVersionStatus}},
    @{N="Tools build";E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsVersion}}
}} | Export-Csv C:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

This will give you the host as well

&{foreach($cluster in Get-cluster ){
  Get-VM -Location $cluster |  where {$_.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsVersionStatus -ne "guestToolsCurrent"} |
  Select @{N="Cluster";E={$cluster.Name}},
    @{N="ESX";E={$_.Host.Name}},
    Name,
    @{N="Tools Status";E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsVersionStatus}},
    @{N="Tools build";E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsVersion}}
}} | Export-Csv C:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture 

Not sure what you mean with the build question. That column is in there.
