If I have a synchronous ajax call running, and an asynchronous call is made while that is happening (via setTimeout() ) will the second call stop/interupt/have any impact on the first call?

Javascript is single-threaded. As a result
setTimeoutcalls can only fire while there is nothing else running. It will fire, once the synchronous ajax call completes and the function that made the ajax request yields control by returning.
