1) The term 'serial killer' was coined in the mid 1970's by Robert K. Ressler(an FBI Behavioural Science Unit agent); before it was known as being a 'serial killer' it was referred to as a 'stranger killer' because the killers victims were usually unknown to him, but Ressler concluded that sometimes the killer did kill people he knew so the word 'serial'(by meaning series) applied to this sort of killer; the term serial killer was then adopted to and used.
2) Jim Jones didn't kill anyone. They killed themselves. Technically.

1) I will look into that.
I recently saw a documentary on Ted Bundy and it said the Term was created to describe him.
2) I guess and mixture of both.
Witness and survivors say those who did not drink the poision koolaid were shot to death or injected with poision.
