1. anh goi em lai duoc khong?
2. bye nghe
Many thanks in advance! 
1. Can you call me over?
"Anh"="older brother" used as a title of respect by someone (male or female) younger than you.
"goi"=call
"em"=title referring to herself as someone younger.
"lai"=come. "goi em lai"=roughly means "call me here" or "call me to you".
"duoc khong"="can you"
2. sorry not sure about this one. Well, "bye" is like the English "goodbye" but "nghe" could be someone's name.
Hope that helps. Damn, my Vietnamese sucks.
