Can the bad alternator cause the water pump to good bad?
The alternator is belt driven and so is the water pump but that is where the correlation ends. There is no way a bad alternator could cause a water pump to go bad unless the alternator pulley was warped. Then there is a small chance.
When the water pump goes out of a Toyota Camry does the Timing Belt automatically go bad or can the timing belt cause the water pump to go out?

How can you tell if your water pump go bad?
I presume you mean car water pump? If the water pump is faulty the car will over heat and the temperature gauge will go up. Make sure that there is enough coolant in the radiator, the radiator or the hose pipe is not leaking and the radiator cap is not faulty, as all of these faults can cause overheating. Once you have excluded these then you can blame the water pump.
Can a water pump go bad without leaking?
