    They both normally refer to situations where a plea is taken from a defendant, but no conviction is entered if the offender successfully completes a period of probation/supervision.

    They can be the same thing. Probation involves reporting to a probation officer. Supervision can mean probation, or it can mean that you report directly to the court without a probation officer.

    That will depend upon the nature of the diversion program and the prosecutor's policies.

    That will depend upon the facts of the offense, the nature of the diversion program, and the prosecutor's policies.
