I've inherited a Chinese cloth painting from my ancestors. I'd be grateful if you could help me know more about the artwork through the signature and seal.

Well, my best guess is 歡敬 - I'll let more expert people answer. – dROOOze Apr 24 '19 at 12:56

Starting from the seal script, the left character is either 歡 
or 觀 
(from 趙孟頫 as well). I can't guess which one because the top-right part is blurred. As for the right-hand side one, I don't know much, but I'd say that there is either the radical 羽 which looks like 
or 
, or the radical 羊 
(趙孟頫) (if we don't consider the seal's border as an integral part) in seal script. I can't identify the component between them so that the whole character makes sense to me, but @dROOOze's guess looks like the most meaningful (歡敬): 
. However, the lack of the right-hand side component 攵 of 敬 in the picture makes me doubtful.
Concerning the cursive script above, I agree with @Asule's answer which is justifiable: 觀
我 
(趙孟頫).
They are "观我", which means "look at me". My grandfather is a professional calligrapher. He writes lots of different works. And I learned a lot from him. Thank you.
It could be 茗家， seems to me that there is something above the 名
As for the seal, my best bet is 歡都. There are many parts that are not really clear or overlap so I'm not too sure for that
