Yes, it is a interference engine. If your belt slips or breaks you will bend valves and smack your pistons
Yes it can. The engine is exactly the same except for the throttle body an intake. Just use the ones on the old engine.
The 1.8 L engine is put in the Escort GT. It has 20 more HP than the 1.9. However if you have a regular Escort the GT engine will not fit..

It would be a good idea to get a Haynes repair manual at your local parts place for $20. It will pay for itself the first time you do anything. There are 27 steps to R and R the timing belt. btw your engine is a non-interference engine which means that when the belt breaks your engine doesn't get any damage. So get a manual and do it yourself.
