The cost reduction is set before you pay any of the spell's costs. Specifically, you could lock in a discount for an artifact you control and then sacrifice that artifact to activate a mana ability.
wotc18 Jun 2021
Cascade triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you end up casting the exiled card, it will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.
wotc18 Jun 2021
The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If cascade allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half but not both halves.
wotc18 Jun 2021
You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.
wotc18 Jun 2021
If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

If a spell with cascade is countered, the cascade ability will still resolve normally.
