Can anyone help me with ethics/appropriateness of asking faculty you know for background info about a job post at their uni before applying?

It's fine to ask; they may not know what the specific role is looking for - that you can get directly from the point of contact on job ad
Speaking to the person you know would be good to get an insight on what it's like to work there. This is a really great thing to do!

But expectations of the role and cultural fit - best to get that directly from the point of contact as they'll be your line manager.

It goes both ways; you'll get a sense of what they want and you can see if that manager is a good fit for you.
