My friends and I are getting into MtG after taking a long break from TCGs, and there's some rules I'm confused about.

First, the stack -- more specifically, the response to casting creatures to the stack. For example, if my opponent casts a creature, it immediately goes to the stack and I have the chance to respond with an ability or instant, correct? So if my opponent drops a X/3 creature, I can immediately respond with an instant that does 3 damage to target (assuming I have the appropriate mana) and remove the creature before it ever comes into play?

Second, can you cast as many instants as you want as long as you have the mana, even if they're the same instant?

Finally, can multiple creatures block a single creature to prevent trample damage, i.e. three 2/2s block (and are sacrificed) to block (and kill) a 6/6 with trample?
