You probably won't be able to consolidate the two but you may be able to refinance just the first mortgage. To do this, you'd need the consent of your current 2nd mortgage company to stay in 2nd position behind the new first mortgage (also known as subordinating to the new first mortgage). Depending on how upside down you are on the home, you might have to choose FHA as the loan type. Lastly, most FHA lenders won't allow you to owe more than 125% of the value of your home cumulatively.

How can you have an equity line and an equity loan at the same time?

Both are liens on the property. Most banks will only allow 2 liens per property. Most banks use a formula of the amount of equity of your home. If you have an open equity line of credit, the bank is going to calculate the TOTAL credit line of the equity line, not the amount you currently owe. For the equity loan, the bank will use the amount owed.
