Can be a big problem as the engine is an interference type. This means the valves hit the pistons when the belt breaks. This is why it is critical to change belts. Might be OK if it happened at idle rather than at full speed. Some belts just shred a few teeth without completely breaking. This would be great.

If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
yes it will, and can bust a piston or connecting rod, most of the time you damage the head.
