Usability is about making a website simple, easy, quick to navigate, and enjoyable to use. It is also about presenting the information in an easy to read format.
Accessibility is about making the website navigable to everyone including people with disabilities or people with slow internet connections.
They are both important because people with slow internet connects don't want to wait while the site loads only to have to wait more because they can't find the information or product they visited the site for. Also because of the America with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), some sites could be subject to an ADA claim which could include reduced site traffic and maybe even a lawsuit.
