Does cantrips work with extra attack?
Extra attack requires the Attack action. Cantrips use the Cast a Spell action. They don’t work together unless a gesture explicitly allows it, which none currently do. Unfortunately you cannot.
Do you get extra attacks when you cast a spell?
The Extra Attack option specifies that you have to take the Attack action to gain the extra attacks. Casting a spell is using the Cast a Spell action, not an Attack action, and therefore you do not qualify for the extra attacks from the Extra Attack class feature. Action Surge, however, gives you an extra action.

Action surge lets you cast 2 action spells (not required to be cantrips unless a spell is cast as bonus action, then both must be cantrips). War caster feat let’s you cast action spells as attack of opportunity (follows reaction spell rules).
Can you use action surge to cast a spell?
If you take an attack action you may only make up to as many attacks as granted by extra attacks. So at level 20 you may make up to 4 attacks. You cannot use one of those to cast a spell. As a fighter you can use ACTION SURGE to make a 2nd action, which would then allow you to make your attacks and cast a spell.
Can you cast a spell on your turn?
