Answer 1

You have to bind your view to listen on the "add" event of your collection:

var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
    initialize: function(){
        this.collection.bind('add', this.somethingWasAdded, this)
    },
    somethingWasAdded: function(){

    }
});
new MyView({collection: myCollection})
