“I just bought the AVR x3700h but am not sure it will do what I need. I want to have 5.1 inside and 4 speakers outside on zone 2 that can both do the same audio. Can the 3700 do this or do I need the 4700 or something else like an external amp?”

The X3700H can definitely do this, but you will need an impedance matching speaker switch if you want to run all 4 speakers to Zone 2. The AVR only has use of 2 amp channels for a powered Zone 2 application. Another option would be to connect 2 speakers to the AVR's terminals for Zone 2 and then use an external 2 channel amp and run that to the AVR's Zone 2 pre-outs. You can also assign a Zone 2 + Zone 3 if you're running a 5.1 Main Zone. At that point, you can have independent audio to Zone 2 and Zone 3 or the same audio to both zones using the All Zone Stereo feature.
