If someone on a suspended sentence is convicted of another offence while the suspension is still in force, do they really automatically go to prison or can the court show discretion for minor offences?

Automatically, no, a court decides whether they should go to jail or not and that will depend on what the new offence is and it’s relevance to the original one triggering the sentence.
