Answer 1

As has been previously answered :-

Check if a Win32 thread is running or in a suspended state

APIs that provide this information are not provided because the information they return is stale before they return. If you want to know if a thread is suspended - call SuspendThread. Now you know (a) the thread has a suspend count of at least 1, and, as SuspendThread returns the 'previous' suspend count, you can know that, at some point during the call to SuspendThread, the suspend count was 0, or some number. The same logic holds for testing if a thread is "stuck" in WaitForXObject(s) :- until you've stopped the thread, you can't know the answer to that question safely.
