In most states, the officer is not allowed to take your license on the spot. However, if you fail a field sobriety test, he can make you take a cab home or have someone pick you up (and possibly impound your car), but he still has to give your license back. You haven't been convicted of a crime as yet, so you can't be punished until after the court case/hearing.
If a judge/court or DMV takes your license, then it is suspended for a set amount of days (90 days, 1 year, indefinitely for repeat offenders).

NO! Once your license is suspended in one state, it is also suspended in all other states.
If a have a valid Georgia drivers license and you are suspended in NJ can you drive in New Hampshire?
No, Normally the state that you comit a suspendable offense in, will notify the state your license is in and they will suspend the license. But sometimes that paperwork takes a long time. However, Cops like me sometimes will run a check on a person through all 50 states just out of curiosity while we have you pulled over. If you show suspended in one state you are not allowed to drive at all, so I would take you to jail for operating a motor vehicle while suspended. This prevents someone from getting a suspended license and sneaking to the next state and lying to get a new one there without telling them they are suspended (by the way lying to the DMV to get a new license is a felony).

At trial, you can offer as a defense the issuance of the new license three months after the suspension. That may serve to show your belief that your license was valid at the time of the first suspended license violation. The second suspended license charge will be tougher to fight, as you had to know from the first ticket that your license was suspended.

If your license suspended in one state can you get it in another?
It is possible with some states, but not with every state. If you have a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) which gets suspended in one state, there is no state or territory of the US in which you'll be able to get licensed in while your license is suspended. Also note that the state which suspends your license also suspends your driving privileges in that state, so, if you did obtain a license from out of state, and were pulled over in the state where your license was suspended, it would still be treated as if you were driving on a suspended license.
