If your timing chain is sooo loose that you say it somehow jumped time, than you need to get a new chain before something catostrophic occurs. Those timing chains do incure slack over time and need to be replaced prior to something like what your describing.

Yes it will effect Compression
Turn the motor Over to TDC on the #1 Compression Stroke and see if the Dist Button is pointed on the #1 Plug.
