In short, no.
Elementary calculus includes finding limits, basic differentiation and integration, dealing with sequences and series, and simple vector operations, among other concepts. Pre-calculus mostly focuses on the algebra necessary to perform those operations, with perhaps some introduction to limits or other simple ideas from elementary calculus.

Pre-calculus refers to concepts that need to be learned before, or as a prerequisite to studying calculus, so no. First one studies pre-calculus then elementary calculus.
Precalculus is supposed to be a stringent and comprehensive review of both algebra and trigonometry. This is in preparation for calculus which uses both algebra and trig extensively.
yes. as the name implies, pre-calculus is essential in Calculus. Much of the trigonometry and the ideas will carry into the carious Calculus classes.
I think is better to take precalculus first, then take calculus. When you take calculus, it is better to take it in three different semesters, first caculus1, then calculus2 and 3. If you go step by step, I think is better to appropriate the knowledge. If you have enough time to study, then do not hurry up. However, if you believe in yourself that you can do it, based on your previous knowledge, then do it.
yes it is
