For something to happen, something must precede it.

Only true if you can't time travel. The order of events only have relevance when everything can flow only in one way. Thus the rule is broken as soon as a time machine come into being.

The universe is governed by cause and effect.

What determines which is the cause and which is the effect? The one that happened first in the timeline. But with time travel,
when something happened no longer mattered.
Your rules only apply without a time machine. Trying to force time travel into the same rules simply don't work. It would be like saying it is impossible to sail around the world in one week, then use that as proof that you can't FLY around the world in one week.

So, I guess it comes down to this: Is the universe built on rules, or did it merely happen to fall in place in such a way that rules exist?

The universe is what it is. That's all. Rules are just
what we humans made up to explain and predict things, but in the end the priority is the observed data. If we see something that breaks the rules,
then the rules are wrong and had to be changed. We don't change the universe to suit the rules, that would be unscientific.
(Unless you are Haruhi)
To put it simply; the rules don't make the universe, the universe make the rules.
