In most cases, there needs to be a written policy about this matter. Sometimes an employee will come off suspension and still work their, other times, pending investigation, an employee may be fired. Suspension length differs depending on the situation.
There are no known laws that prevent working elsewhere while suspended from a job; however, it does bring up ethical issues. A suspension is usually given when an employee has violated policies or there is a serious allegation brought against them, and an investigation is in progress. The person is still an employee, and the suspension could end at any time. Working elsewhere while on suspension is probably not a good choice. Please read the discussion at the Related Link for very good insight into this.

In most cases, the company's insurance carrier will pay for damages, as long as the fault causing the accident was not caused by the employee. The employee here is representing the company in this case - if the employee is charged with negligent driving and was cited for causing the accident, the company insurance carrier will most likely pay, but will seek restitution from the employee. Could get into a real sticky situation.

Yes.
If the employee was in a company vehicle, on company business, then the other driver would suit the company. But it also depends on where the accident took place, as the laws differ.
