In some countries
The crocodile has a more tapered snout than the broader snout of the alligator.
A crocodile's head is more narrow and the snout comes to more of a point as compared to an alligator. An alligator's snout is blunt - more of a U-shape. I try to remember the difference by thinking that if the nose is pointed like a capital "A", then it is not an Alligator. It's a bit tough to remember since it is a negative. Another memory jog - though negative - would be if the snout is rounded (a capital "C" is rounded) it is not a Crocodile.

The difference between a croc and a gator is there snout. Crocs have a "V" shaped snout and gators have a "U" shaped snout. Since Deinosuchus have a more "U" shaped snout, it's a relative of the alligator.

No, alligators typically have broader, U-shaped snouts, while crocodiles tend to have longer, V-shaped snouts. This difference in snout shape is one of the features that can help distinguish between alligators and crocodiles.
