If the animation is done first, do the actors have to remain strictly to script leaving no room for improv and also have to nail their timing?
And if the acting is done first, how do they time it? Do they have to do it blindly, only by imagination?

I want to say that there have been many excellent answers that go into great detail why and how voice acting is done and I can confirm as well, voice acting is done before the animation.
*In the west*
In Japan it’s often actually the other way around. Usually the production team would have a good idea what the scene is going to be about, but won’t have any finished dialogue and the voice actors would work off of the almost finished movie. It has thrown a lot of westerners off when they work on any anime production.
