The car accelerates faster at high rpm and accelerates slower in the next gear. What's the problem? Timing belt, cylinder not working?

Sounds normal to me. 1st gear acceleration is better than 2nd which is better than 3rd, etc.

Sounds pretty normal to me. If you think something may be wrong start with a compression test to assess the health of the engine http://geometroforum.com/topic/2574993/1/

Does it also go backwards when you put it in reverse?
