<<<Could anyone help me with the definition of a term in this piece? -
"con esitazione">>>

Esitazione, esitando or esitante: It., hesitant, wavering

<<<Also, do you know why my (older) edition has "slentando" and my
student's (newer) edition has "stentando?'>>>

You may have to exercise a little interpretation here. "Slentando" and
"stendendo" are synonymous, meaning slowing down. However, "stentando"
has a somewhat different connotation, generally meaning labored or
difficult, but also implying slow.
