Can you knit a jumper with just half a kilometre of wool?
It depends on the size and style of jumper you want, the stitch pattern being used, and the weight of yarn you have. A large sweater with a dense stitch pattern (such as lots of cables) will require more yarn than a small sweater with a lace pattern. You can knit further with a finer weight of yarn (say a sport weight instead of a worsted weight).
How much yarn is 32 onces?
It really depends on the weight of yarn, 32 oz of worsted weight is different then 32 oz of lace weight.

Knitty noddy's are usually a set meterage/yardage, where as a yarn swift can be adjusted to what ever width you would like.

What is sport spun yarn?
I think you are asking about Sport weight yarn. Yarn can be divided into "weights" which refer to the diameter of the yarn. Yarn Council of America is attempting to standardize this system of weights (which really doesn't have to do with the actual ounces, pounds, grams or kilograms). Therefore, a Sport-weight yarn would be one that could be called "Fine" (vs a lace or superbulky yarn), or #2-sized yarn or that it generally has 23-26 stitches per 4 inches (a standard gauge length and height), horizontally. You can find more information by following the link I have attached to this answer.
