If your car idles fine but cuts off when you give it gas, it could indicate a fuel delivery issue, such as a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump. Additionally, problems with the air intake system, like a dirty mass airflow sensor or a vacuum leak, could disrupt the air-fuel mixture, leading to stalling under acceleration. Another possibility is an issue with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or ignition coils. It's best to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional to pinpoint the exact cause.

What causes a engine to spit and sputter while driving but the car idles fine?

dirt in the carburator, incorrect fuelling or ignition (i.e. spark) breaking down under load. Check that fuel is getting through, fuel pressure & that injectors are spraying correctly, and that plugs are giving a good healthy blue spark. If spark is weak it could be plugs, leads, coil, distributor cap / rotor arm or a bad earth - check everything.

When you turn on the headlights of any car it causes a load (or horsepower drag) on the engine. Your car has an idle problem and the load on the alternator simply exacerbates it.
