Herpetology student here to give straight answer--
Yes, snakes will, can be, and have been crossbred. It's mostly been done with milksnakes and ratsnakes.
No, a cobra and a rattlesnake could NOT cross.
Like>>93959said, too different. Rattlers would prolly' be fairly easy to crossbreed, but most herpeticulturists who keep them aren't interested in crossing.
Cobras, like Kingsnakes (which are another species that's been crossed, though from what I've seen only with other species of Kings), eat other snakes given the chance. It would be tricky, but I don't see why, at the very least, cobraA/cobraB hybrids couldn't be produced.
It all comes down to the fact that most people who keep hot snakes like that aren't interested in producing hybrids. It's tricky.
