What the difference between 32 and 46 hydraulic oil?

The numbers refer only to the viscosity, not to the quality. Quality of the oil is determined by the manufacturer. For Atlas above ground lifts, AW-32 (lower number than AW-46) will flow “better” in colder weather than AW-46. The hotter the temperature, the thinner the oil becomes and the colder the oil, the thicker.

Can I use engine oil in a hydraulic jack?

No you cannot use Motor Oil in a Hydraulic System. Motor Oil runs at a much higher temperature and Hydraulic Oil starts to fail at around 45c. You cannot as water is one of the worst contaminates for Hydraulic Oil. The system would break down and would cost even more to repair than using Motor Oil.
