What we know about the Trojan war is what Homer tells us in the 'Iliad', and Virgil in the 'Aeneid'. Some historians believe these literary works are telling about a real war, others think it is pure literature. Archeological findings are not conclusive.

Almost beyond the shadow of a doubt. The tale is related to us from a number of different sources, some of the historic, and they all tell basically the same story. Some elements are obviously mythic, because they didn't have other explanations for the happenings (like the plague that struck the Greek camp after the sacking of the Temple of Apollo).
