if process is killed, what happens at the time of running scheduled jobs, will a new process be created by android.

From Android 3.1+ nothing will happen i.e process is terminated after force stop is pressed from settings menu. So reschedule alarm when user opens the application again.

what happens to the process if device goes to deep sleep mode.

The process execution halts in sleep mode unless some event that is capable of waking the device from sleep mode is happened like phone call, text message, socket connection, Alarm Manager event, etc.
