Can you go from neutral to 2nd gear?
Yes, but there is really no risk to your transmission. The clutch maybe, but if you learn to rev match downshift well, that risk is gone too.
Can you skip first gear?
Yes, you can. It's possible to skip the first gear when you are moving a car from the halted position. However, you have to struggle slightly more in that case to match engine and the clutch.
