A suspended jail term usually means that an offender doesn't have to serve sentenced jail time because of some sort of deal w/ a court. For example "if you stay out of trouble and do community service for 10 months, your jail sentence will be cleared"

What is the difference between a suspended execution of sentence and a suspended imposition?

A suspended execution of sentence is when the judge actually renders a sentence to the defendant, but passes the execution of the sentence on defendant unless they commit another offense. The court will then have the right to impose the original sentence upon the defendant. A suspended imposition of sentence is when the judge does not enter a sentence on defendant and has the right to execute a sentence upon the defendant should they commit another offense.
