Would 2 parallel lives yield infinite tokens? Like would the trigger from one trigger tw other?

I dont think, since it doesnt put tokens down, it just multiplies other abilities. 2 parellel lives would make a 4x token for eqch one token put down, though.

Poof

And 3 on the field would give u 8 tokens

For the sake of clarity, it's a replacement not a trigger. It replaces one token with two.

And then 2 with 4?

If you have 2 copies of {parallel lives} or {doubling season} on the battlefield, yes. When you make a token, it will look like this:
2 Parallel Lives;
1Token x 2 x 2 = 4Token

Each token to enter the battlefield will follow this formula. Add another x 2 for each additional parallel lives.
3 copies:
1Token x 2 x 2 x 2 = 8Token
4 copies:
1Token x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16Token

And so on.

And since the game cannot distinguish between the original and the "extra" tokens, they will all have the same properties.

If you have a {Doubling Season}, and a {Parallel Lives} on the battlefield and you swing with a {Geist of Saint Traft}, you'll get four 4/4 attacking angels that all get sac'ed at the end of combat.
