Okay so I am new here and I am already loving this site. One major question for me is, should I learn the 2 look methods first or should I just try to learn all 57 algorithms of OLL and the PLL algorithms?
 
start out with 2 Look, and you can progress to 1 look later.
And to clarify, 1 Look of each is 57 OLL algorithms and 21 PLL algs, not 57 total.
2 Look is 7 OLLs and 5 PLLs, and every one of those is included in the 1 look set, so learning 2 look hurts nothing.

Welcome to the site :)

EDIT: and when you do start heading for 1 look, i think everyone here will agree with me in recommending to learn PLL first, and then OLL.
 
I know the 1st look of OLL, so do I use the OLL algorithms under "All edges flipped correctly" in the OLL wiki to do the second look?

Yes, that is what you do. You can get just the 2-look cases here also.

I would make sure to go through all the available algorithms on the wiki to make sure you are using one that fits well with your style.
 
I pretty much use them. I'd recommend just sticking with the first algorithm for blinker since it's much easier to learn. I still can't do the second one faster than the first one, though many other people can. If you are going to use the PDF for the 2-look PLL from the Badmephisto page, I would definitely switch the first two algorithms from CW Corner Cycle to the T-perm and the E-Perm to the Y-Perm. I would also switch the Z-Perm algorithm unless you are already good with M slices.
