You should really focus on learning plain/vanilla Javascript. Vue Js is better than jQuery in various aspects. Plus using Vue Js and React Js will help you become better javascript developer. jQuery makes you dependent on itself. Learning jQuery makes you a better jQuery developer, and javascript knowledge takes a beating.
Even if you decide to use Vue. There'll be times when you need a plugin, such as a credit card type/format detector, which only runs on top of jQuery.
No, I wouldn't say it is. Vue is probably something like the 12th proclaimed jQuery-killer such as every new social network is a Facebook-killer. It's a very inaccurate assessment of what's going on imho.
Most people will tell you that you shouldn't be using jQuery because vanilla JavaScript will do for most usecases (and use a frontend framework like Vue for the the rest).
If you ask me personally I don't think jQuery going anywhere soon, it's just too efficient and easy in it's workflow.

No, jQuery and Vue.js are different libraries and can be used together. Instead you should learn JavaScript (ES5, ES6, ES7) itself, Web Standards, Web APIs, DOM, UI, accessibility. jQuery is not needed since ES5. However, it is still a solid choice when you need a fast temporary solution which exists only with jQuery.
jQuery is a DOM library which was written 10+ years ago to make cross-browser DOM manipulation easy because then there were a lot of problems in cross-browser support and many simple features were missing in JS.
Vue.js is a library for building components like a React.
Instead of learning a framework/library after learning a language you should learn software design patterns and principles. You can write complicated modern apps in Vanilla JS when you know JS and software architecture, software engineering and software design. Moreover this knowledge can be applied in every field and it won't change much during your lifetime while all those libraries go, change and die every month.
