I'm not from the class, but I think I can help a bit...

Yes, in general anyone can start attending classes at any time!

I don't know what text they're using, but I'd recommend Kernighan and
Ritchie "The C Programming Language", Second Edition, as a good way to
learn the basics of the language.  It doesn't cover any libraries
developed in the last 15 years, and it doesn't cover integrating with
modern systems, but that's OK for purposes of just learning the language
itself.

I can't answer that one since I don't know what the status is. :)
