eclipse events are known far in advance, because we have accurate measurements of planetary and lunar orbits far into the future.

Yes, eclipses are very predictable. Consult an ephemeris.

Yes, they can be predicted. They are generally listed in the Farmer's Almanac, which is available online now. You can do a search for it on Google.
