11:12 American here (from Texas, specifically)! We still have jelly, jam, preserves, and compotes here, but we do tend to refer to them all as "jelly" or "jam" the majority of the time. However, we do have the different terms, and most people know what they each mean. I hope this helps clear up some of the questions! 🙂
New Yorker/American here: Jam--fruit paste for toast and similar. Tends to still have pieces of the fruit (fiber, seeds, etc) still in it, but varies by type. The more stuff in it, the closer it gets to "preserves", and compote is the whole fruit cooked down. Jelly--"jam" that is translucent and has all/most of the actual fruit strained out. Also used to describe things of similar consistencies and textures, even when they're not food (e.g., petroleum jelly). But as the other commenter from Texas said, most people use one term (jam or jelly) to mean both and people know what they mean. Only matters at the grocery store anyway since otherwise you're stuck with whatever the host/restaurant has.
