which muscles are useful in boxing?

i heard that the forearm helps make a harder impact

and is it possible to increase speed when hitting the punching bag?

the entire body is used in boxing. So no one muscle should be seen as more important as any other. Strong forearms/wrists are important but mostly for stabilization of that area and not for improving impact force. yes, you can increase speed by hitting a punching bag.
