Can a piston skirt slap noise be mis-diagnosed as a timing chain tensioner or cassette guide noise on a 1998 Ford Explorer anf if so what do you advise other than replace pistons?

Piston slap and timing chain related noises can be very similar. If it is a piston slap noise the noise may be louder during power braking and may quiet down as the engine warms up.

Is your Audi 80 avant engine broken if the AA man said the cambelt tensioner has failed?
Complete failure of the tensioner may well throw the valve timing out enough for the pistons struck the valves. I'm not an expert on Audis but I'd certainly seek advice before just putting a new tensioner and belt on.

When to do a timing belt on a 2.2L?
The GM 2.2L (not ECOTEC) engine for that model year used a timing chain with a teflon tensioner. As far as I know, it had no belt. However, the tensioners are notorious for failure...they break off and get between the chain and the sprocket, which snaps the chain. When this happens, the valves contact the pistons, bending them. If the engine is starting to sound like a diesel, you should consider having the chain and tensioner replaced.
