It is not clear how these two queries should be joined; but you want to
use something like this...

SELECT sql1.col1, sql1.col2, sql1.sum, sql2.days from (

SELECT t1.col3, t1.col4, t1.col1, t1.col2,
SUM(t2.end_date::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) as sum
from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and
t3.col4 = t1.col4

) sql1 left join (

SELECT t1.col3, t1.col4, t1.col1, t1.col2,
(Now()::DATE - t2.start_date::DATE) AS days
from table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3 WHERE t1.col3 = t2.col3 and
t3.col4 = t1.col4 and t2.end_date is null

) sql2 on sql1.col3 = sql2.col3 and sql1.col4 = sql2.col4
