1) Can I create a trigger on a view?
2) Do triggers cascade?
Say I have an insert trigger on a table.
And, I have an insert trigger on a view that references this table
If I do an insert on the view, will both triggers fire?
Can not have triggers on Views, Views use RULES which are DO INSTEAD.

That is wrong.
See
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createtrigger.html
The following table summarizes which types of triggers may be used on
tables, views, and foreign tables:
Yes if you have an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rule on a view that inserts
into a table then that table's triggers will be executed.
Please note RULES should be avoided beyond the use case for VIEWS.
RULES are executed very early in the query tree; it is not
trivial to write rules on Tables.
