Not by very much. Salem didn't spread much farther than Boston. The single lasting change to colonial system was the fact that the Puritans lost control of Massachusetts.

If my memory serves me correctly they were burned at the stake, stoned, drowned, and a few others but I think these were the main execution styles.
They were subject to public ridicule, torched then burned and hanged. Not in any particular order.
