The accurate answer to your second question is "not really". Our current system for measuring time is based on the movements of our planet & our solar system, which of course did not exist in their current state at the beginning. Those units, however, have been standardized for convenience & accuracy to reference the cesium atom, so can be back-calculated.
The answer to your first question is that time began at the instant of the so-called 'big bang'. Before that there was nothing to reference it again, so the passage of time had no meaning or substance.
Weird, huh?

Silly answer: It was five minutes late.
Serious answer: Time only makes sense if there's something to experience the time, like matter or energy. According to the Big Bang theory, all the energy and matter in the universe started with an explosion, so time began with that explosion too.

Time is the measurement of change. Time started with the first change.

Time had no begin. It was always there, only nobody to measure it.

time is the fourth dimension in space-time, as proven in relativity by einstein. space-time came into existence after the big bang, so time began its existence at the big bang.

time is said to be one of the properties of the universe. as the word 'when' denotes the time,the question itself is inconsistent. go for the nice words of Stephen Hawking.
