Yes, an iamb is technically the shorter of the two syllables making up a 'foot'.

Iambic pentameter: 'The curfew tolls the knell of parting day'. That is 5 feet written in iambic rhythm, the first line of Gray's Elegy.

Yes, "inspire" is an example of an iamb because it consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern of metrical foot is prevalent in English poetry.
