= Solution

Since $\overline X_n\sim N(\mu,1/n)$,
$$
\mathbb E T_n=\mathbb E\overline X_n^2
=\mu^2+\frac1n,
$$
so
$$
\boxed{\operatorname{Bias}(T_n)=\frac1n}.
$$
Every leave-one-out mean has variance $1/(n-1)$, and hence
$$
\mathbb E\widehat B_n
=(n-1)\left(\frac1{n-1}-\frac1n\right)
=\frac1n.
$$
Therefore
$$
\boxed{\operatorname{Bias}(\widetilde T_{\rm JACK})=0}.
$$
