Of course if it breaks the engine will not run. However there is no way to look at it and tell if it is ready to break or not. That is why timing belts are replaced at a certain mileage as outlined in your owners manual. On interference engines if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage.

Almost certainly. The timing belt being damaged or broken can cause a number of different problems.
