Many timing chain tensioners use oil pressure to operate as well as lubricate the chain. So oil pump failure and timing chain bind can be related. This car has a spring tensioner that does not use oil pressure. Your problem was most likely a clogged oil pickup screen. This will starve the pump. You need to change oil more often.

Do i need to change timing chain or belt of my 1999 Pontiac firebird 98700 miles...........what else should i look for like water pump etc?

The timing chain or belt on a 1999 Pontiac Firebird at 98,700 miles does not need to be changed unless it is showing signs of wear or breaks. There is an inspection plate that can be removed to check this. As far as changing other things at this mileage, consider changing the filter and fluid in the transmission. The engine oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
