Are you the original owner? If so, the owners manual will tell you in the maintenance schedule section. If this car is equipped with a V6, then 100,000 mi is probably the suggested interval to change the belt.

Normally timing chains will last 100 to 150,000 miles easily. Unlike a timing belt which gives no warning before breaking, a chain will get noisy or the engine will be hard to time. You usually receive advanced warning of immanent failure.

Each vehicle is different. Refer to the owners manual for that information. If you don't have an owners manual, the dealer can certainly help you with that.

It is recommended that you change the timing belt, on your Jeep grand Cherokee, 3.1 liter diesel engine, every 60,000 miles. Not changing the timing belt may void your warranty.

The diesel Smart has a timing chain made of steel and should outlast the rest of the engine, I don't know about the gasoline powered Smart.

Depends very much on the car, some complicated by close confines, some not. I can do a Ford Taurus 3 litre in about 15 minutes. Dodge Caravan 3.8 in about 45 min.
