I have never played a from software game and really want to get into them. But should I start with dark souls 2? I play on xbox one. So I guess I don't have much of a choice but I just want to know if I even have a chance of progressing with zero experience.

Dark souls 2 is a bit more fair to newer players so I'd say start with that. Just play patiently and know that when you come to new bosses and areas, the chances of you dying is high. Make sure you lower those chances the second time.

Also can I play coop to make it easier? Or is that not a thing?

Coop can be a bit difficult if you want a specific person to play with. You have to buy a ring from a character in the starting area and make sure you are both close to each other in soul memory. It's easy with randoms, though. People can lay down a summon sign and if you haven't beaten the boss of the area, you will see them when you are human. A smaller sign will only summon someone for about 5 minute and then they will disappear. A larger sign will be summoned until they die, disconnect, you die, or the boss is defeated. White and gold signs are coop. Blue and grey signs are PvP.
