when do you guys replace your timing belts? and do you buy it from dealer or aftermarket stores?

The newer belt designs should be good for a 90K mile change. Suggest buying a dealer or OEM manufacturer belt, some of the aftermarket brands can make noise as in a belt whine.

im 100k mile and planning to have my timing belt change... when you change your timing belt other things do you also change along the way?

Replace the serpentine belt at the same time, whether you think it needs to be replaced or not. It's only $40 or so and will eliminate the potential need to replace it later.

how about water pump? and also tensioner (im not sure about the name.)

Water pump and tensioner are usually good for 2 belt changes. Inspect all items for rough bearings and the WP for leakage. Also check the cam, crank and oil pump seals for leakage.

i bought my timing belt kit from NAPA and sometimes there is a little noise when you step on the gas but eventually is gone while driving. is it because its not and original belt only aftermarket?

Had a similar noise issue with the NAPA belt. Not all aftermarket belts make noise though however the dealer belt is a safe bet.
