Yes, many misdemeanors do have jail time. They are usually waived for probation or suspended pending clean record for x amount of time.

Yes, most misdomeanor offenses carry jail terms as a potential consequence. Under some statutes a minimum jail term is manditory. Usually, jail is not an issue, unless you would violate probation, parole, community custody or similiar terminology. What one would received is probably a fine, suspended jail sentence, court fees, restitution and that would be it.

Yes, In fact most misdemeanors have jail sentencing options tied to them. Judges have the option to use them accordingly. In fact drunk driving isn't a felony until the third offense.

yes.
it is the number of them that add up
is what matters.
at times, misdemeanors collectively added up
can be ruled a felony!
felony means mandatory jail time.
