If I enable clustering between two PRTG servers will they share the load of monitoring?
Does Clustering enable load balancing?

Hello,
the PRTG Cluster will not load-balance the monitoring requests. In fact each node in a PRTG Cluster monitors all the time, so all targets monitored by (for example) a two-node cluster will have the doubled load in terms of monitoring requests, compared to being monitored from one standalone PRTG Server.
best regards.
