Camshaft and crankshaft sensors are common failures on these vehicles and will give you those symptoms. Camshaft sensor is fairly easy to change (right on top on side of head on drivers side)
Crankshaft sensor is buried on backside of engine way down on the bottom.

If the timing chain on my 2007 4 cyl nissan altima goes out will it damage the engine

Thomas is right. Due to the expense of repairing the engine, it is usually cheaper to locate a low mileage engine from a salvage yard and have it installed.
