Yes. Since the abilties trigger during the resolution of a spell, they have to wait until that spell has fully resolved and a player gains priority before they can be put on the stack. Selecting targets is done at that time, so after all the effects of the spell happened and that spell's card is has been put into the graveyard (which means, that card can be targeted with a LTB trigger as well).
1 mana. The total cost of a spell is calculated by adding up the spell's mana cost or alternative cost, additional costs, cost increasers, cost reductions, and Trinisphere. Here yo got an alternative cost and a cost increaser.
