Can Halley's comet help scientists predict the future?

Apart from things directly related to the comet, no. Since the comet has a regular orbit, it is possible to predict when it will be visible. Halley's Comet is also the cause of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower, so the passage of the comet may result in an increase in the shower's intensity. In most cases, trying to predict the future based on the positions of celestial objects falls under the field of astrology, which is a pseudoscience.
