I tap Cabal Coffers while having 4 swamps on the battlefield + Caged Sun naming black. How much mana do I get? 5 or 8? I'm thinking 5 because it says "whenever a land adds one or more".
I have Marrow-Gnawer equipped with Illusionist's Bracers and two rat tokens. I tap Marrow-Gnawer and sacrifice one of the rat tokens. How many rats do I end up with? The way I'm thinking is the ability goes on the stack followed by the copied ability. the first ability resolves and sees Marrow and 1 rat token, so it makes 2 tokens, then the second ability resolves and sees Marrow and three rat tokens so it makes 4? Resulting in a total of +6 rat tokens. Is that correct?
1- Yes, you get 5 mana, coffers adds all the mana in a single mana ability, thus Caged sun only adds a single extra mana.
2- the number of rats is counted upon resolution
once you sac one of the rat tokens, you are with the Gnawer and a rat token (2 rats), then the copy made by the bracers resolves and you get 2 rat tokens....
then the original ability resolves and sees 4 rats, giving you 4 more rat tokens.
so, by the end of the stack resolution you'll have the Marrow Gnawer + 7 rat tokens.

What am I missing here? He taps one swamp giving him two black mana per Caged Sun's ability. He then activates Cabal Coffers with that two mana leaving him a net four mana from the four swamps in play. Where is the extra "one" coming from?
Caged Sun gives you one additional mana whenever any land you control is tapped for mana of the chosen color, not just basic lands. So, the Cabal Coffers generates 4 mana normally, but since it is trying to produce some amount of black mana, it gets one extra mana from the Caged Sun's triggered mana ability.

1) Taps 2 swamps to use Cabal Coffers ability. Caged Sun triggers for 2 swamps.
2) Gets 2 black mana + 2 black mana from Caged Sun = 4 black
3) 4 - 2 for ability cost = 2 remaining
3) Cabal Coffers gives him 4 black mana + 1 black mana from Caged Sun = 5
4) Left with 7 black mana to use, + 2 remaining swamps if untapped.
W may only be paid with white mana. U may only be paid with blue mana. B may only be paid with black mana. R may only be paid with red mana. G may only be paid with green mana. C may only be paid with colorless mana. 1 may be paid with white, blue, black, red, green, or clolorless mana.

No, if there are no Swamps under players control it will not produce anything.
Player has 4 swamps and Cabal Coffers.
1) Taps 2 swamps to use Cabal Coffers ability. Caged Sun triggers for 2 swamps.
2) Gets 2 black mana + 2 black mana from Caged Sun = 4 black
3) 4 - 2 for ability cost = 2 remaining
3) Cabal Coffers gives him 4 black mana + 1 black mana from Caged Sun = 5
4) Left with 7 black mana to use, + 2 remaining swamps if untapped.
Cabal Coffers cannot just tap by itself. It doesnt have a mana ability other than the one where you have to pay 2
