You can learn Calc I on your own. You would have to learn it pretty well if you want a good grade in Calc II. If you just want to barely pass Calc II, that's another story 
Linear Algebra is usually not taken until after Calc II, but some LA classes rely on Calculus knowledge a lot more than others. Basically, some have Calc as a prerequisite and some don't. I've seen some programs state that you need a Calculus-based LA, or they look at the description of the course to see if it was better LA.
