Does the timing belt have anything to do with the car accelerating?

Yes! The belt is part of what allows the Otto Cycle (the cycle that the car get its power from) to repeat it self and give power to the wheels. The main use of it though is controlling the timing of the engine's valves (where the gas comes from) in an internal combustion engine which is what cars use.
