In billiards when making a shot do you look at the cue ball to see where you want to hit it with your cue or look at the object ball to see where you want the cue ball to make contact?

This is a matter of personal choice and the shot - you have to look at both and decide which ismore important. Most people look at the cue ball as lining up the shot should have already been done. However, for long shots, looking further ahead reduces potential for error. For a cut shot, there is nothing to look at except the cue ball.

No, if you mean in the game of 8 Ball. In 8 Ball, pocketing the 8 ball is required to be its own shot to be considered "legal contact", so hitting any other numbered ball first, your's or opponent's, is not legal contact with the 8 ball.
