you are exerting lots of forward G-forces in any collision. The alternator has extremely small tolerances in the air gaps and friction the brushes make. Jarring the car in any collision can knock any part in your engine out of whack. I've even seen a fuel pump go bad from a front end collision and its located in the trunk.
yes
The force of the collision has to great enough
yes , you have to
You don't. You have to tear apart half of the front end to get to the alternator,.. might as well buy another car.

It could lead to it indirectly, but it won't be a direct cause.

The force from the impact from the collision has caused the under frame to bend upwards. The front and back of the car has raised up putting pressure on the roof front to back causing the metal to bend.
Following the vehicle in front of you to close for comfort is one form of tailgating. This is a bad habit that can lead to having a rear end collision. Tailgating can also mean fixing/having a lunch from the tailgate of your vehicle.

The car in the back is usually at fault in a rear end collision. The only exception would be if the car in front were backing up. The car in back is at fault for hitting you ,but if you are pushed into the car in front of you you are at fault for hitting that car.
your car could have been hit by a freight train in the rear and the airbags would not deploy unless, of course, you hit something in the front after the rear end collision had already occurred. the sensors are in the front and are designed to deploy the srs units if the occupants are in danger of going forward not backwards as the case in a rear end collision.
