Does an idler gear change the speed of the driver gear?

No. But if there are two idler gears, one smaller than the other, say a 12 tooth and a 6 tooth. the 12 tooth idler is the idler of the driver gear which has 24 teeth, making the idler gear rotate 2 times for every rotation that the driver gear rotates. Now, if the 12 tooth idler gear is rotating 2 times faster than the driver gear, then the 6 tooth idler gear will rotate 2 times faster than the 12 tooth idler gear. So, the 6 tooth idler gear is rotating 4 times faster than the driver gear. Let's say that the driven gear has 12 teeth. For every rotation of the 6 toothed idler gear, the driven gear rotates halfway.

Why not cycloidal gears used instead of involute gears in all places?

as it is known there two types of gear tooth available. but only the involute gear tooth is used in every place. This is because the cycloidal gear tooth do not allow any tolerances for centre distance between the gears. It is has to be very exact for the cycloidal gears to mesh properly. but the involute gears allow certain degree of change in centre distance hence the involute gear tooth is used always.
