I have the following doubts.

1. Does postgres create an index on every primary key? Usually, queries are performed against a table on the primary key, so, an index on it will be very useful.

Yes, a unique index is used to enforce the primary-key.

2. If 'm executing a complex query and it takes 10 seconds to return the results -- it takes 10 seconds to execute the next time also. I'm wondering if there's any kind of caching that can be enabled -- so, the next time it takes <10 seconds to return the results.

Not of query results. Obviously data itself might be cached. You might want to look at memcached for this sort of thing.
