No. The second law still determines if a process will take place spontaneously. The first law does not say that if you drop a block of hot iron into a water bath that the iron can't absorb enough energy from the water to melt it while freezing the water as long as the energy absorbed by the iron matches the energy lost by the water. HOWEVER, the second law tells us this won't happen.

yes because it is a plain fact that energy can not be created or destroyed; it can only change forms

When the law of conversation of energy is applied to heat it is known as the law of thermodynamics?

Not exactly. The first law of thermodynamics, i.e. the law of conservation of energy, also accounts for heat as one of the many forms that energy can take. There is no one law called "the law of thermodynamics", but there are several "Laws of Thermodynamics" (note the plural form "LAWS").
