When you are making an envelope with say Microsoft Word and you click the box to include the Delivery Point Barcode and it prints with the address and barcode does that help get your mail to it's location any faster, also how accurate is the barcode, can it mess anything up as it goes through the mail system?

I have not idea whether the barcode is compatible with the Postal Service Scanners, you can call your local postmaster and he should be able to answer your question. When any item goes to a Processing Center it receives a barcode automatically. Only if you are a presort bulk mailer are you going to get any jump on the process. Single pieces always go the same route, sorry.

In theory the barcode speeds things up because that can be scanned and routed automatically. Handwritten addresses are the slowest because these need to be read by a human and a barcode then printed on the envelope.

The post office recommends using eitther a barcode or all capital letters with no punctuation (easier to OCR).
