Monk's Belt / IUS
Does Monk's Belt grant you the benefit of Improved Unarmed Strike?
(Non-Monk character)Ellery: "We will not be caught by surprise."
Entreri: "Almost everyone I've killed uttered similar last words."
Jarlaxle: "Then I am glad once again that you are on my side."
Entreri: "They've often said that too."

RAW specifies only unarmed damage and AC bonus. It wouldn't be an unreasonable house rule if you wanted though.

Re: Monk's Belt / IUS
"If the character is not a monk, she gains the AC and unarmed damage of a 5th-level monk."
"Unarmed Damage" is given as a column in the Monk's class table. Improved Unarmed Strike is granted as a bonus feat under the "Unarmed Strike" class feature. So, no - strictly speaking you get the damage boost but you still provoke AoOs and deal non-lethal damage. But as mentioned, it's not a big deal to houserule.

Re: Monk's Belt / IUS
I think you're looking for the Fanged Ring (Dragon Magic, page 101) which grants Improved Unarmed Strike, and Improved Natural Attack (Unarmed Strike).

Re: Monk's Belt / IUS
If you just want Improved Unarmed Strike to go along with your Monk's Belt, the cheapest item granting that feat is Bracers of Striking (Magic of Faerūn); only 1,310 gp.
