The check engine light on a Toyota Tercel can come on for a variety of reasons. It can be come on whenever there is a problem with the engine that needs attention. To reset it, disconnect the battery for a few minutes then re-connect it.

New batteries almost always come fully charged. If it was not then charge it with a battery charger and do not use your vehicle alternator to charge a dead battery. You may do harm to the alternator which is not built to charge a dead battery but is instead built to keep a good battery fully charged.

You might need a new charger or battery.
Apples and pomegranates. The Accord was, and is, Honda's top-of-the-line car. The Tercel was Toyota's least expensive car. Both come from companies renowned for making good cars, so it comes down to style and features...and the Accord definitely wins over the Tercel. So yes, I'd say a 1991 Accord is better than a 1991 Tercel.
