D&D 5E Question with regards to number of cantrips known.

First Post
Just a question with regards to a multiclassed character, namely Cleric 1/Warlock 1.

From what I understand from reading the PHB, I get to have two 1st level spell slots for the 1 level in cleric and then a spell slot with spell level 1, from the one level in warlock. Am I correct so far?

What about the number of cantrips in total? I know upon the 1st level of cleric, I get to choose 3 cantrips from the cleric's spells list. But what happens when I level to my 2nd level and I took a level in warlock? Do I get to pick another 2 cantrips from the warlock's list?

Also, as much as I could understand, with the 1st level of Cleric, I get to choose a domain. Say if I have chosen [Life Domain], I can then prepare the amount of spells equal to my Wisdom modifier + cleric's level, which doesn't include Bless and Cure Wounds, right? Since the 2 spells are bestowed to me by my Domain choice? Also, as a cleric, I know all of the 1st level cleric's spells too, right?

Now, on my character's 2nd level, which is a level in Warlock, and I have chosen [The Fiend] as my patron, so I only get to choose only two spells out of the warlock's 1st level spells list as well as Burning Hands and Command, which are both expanded spells list from my choice of Patron?

So now, the cleric's spells DC and spell modifier runs off WIS and Warlock's runs off CHA?

There are no ways to run cleric's spells off CHA, right?

Summary:
Two 1st level cleric's spell slots.
One Warlock's spell slots at level 1.
Three Cleric's cantrips.
Two Warlock cantrips.
Bless and Cure Wounds permanently available as domain spells.
Can prepare up to Wisdom modifier + cleric's level amount of cleric spells.
Two Warlock's 1st level spells.
WIS for Cleric's spells.
CHA for Warlock's spells.

Correct. Your Cleric spellcasting and your Warlock pact magic are totally separate abilities, except that you can cast Cleric spells with your Warlock slots and vice-versa. No matter which slots you use, your Cleric spells that you prepare always use Wis, and your Warlock spells that you know always use Cha.

Not as a Cleric no, but Paladins have some overlap with the Cleric list and are Charisma casters. Also Bards can swipe from anyones list using Magical Secrets and cast them as bard spells using Charisma.
 

One last question here.

For access to spell list, which is taken into account; class or character level for a multiclass caster.
