NO to your 1st question, yes to the 2nd.
The apocalypse has already come.
Apocalypse in Greek means "disclosure." It is a term applied to the disclosure of something to certain, privileged persons that is hidden from the masses. John’s original title for the Book of Revelation is modernly referred to as the "Apocalypse of John."
In a book now available to the world, the Apoclaypse or “disclosure” is totally unfolded, and presented throughout the pages. ALL of Revelation is explained. Every chapter and every verse. So the Apocalypse has already come. The disclosure of the Book of Revelations is here.
Once you read the book, (if you choose to), no longer will the esoteric and fantasized explanations of the Apocalypse hold any water.
As for the tribulation:
Those who learn and apply the gospel of Jesus Christ will rest from tribulations and hell that others are experiencing in life.
Through the tribulation and “torment” that we mortals experience upon the earth at this time, we will obtain knowledge of good and evil; in other words, what works for each of us and brings us peace and happiness, and what does not—mostly experiencing what does not. This is a period in which we learn right from wrong by experiencing both, after which we will be redeemed of our tribulation—relieved of our “torment”—after all the learning has taken place.
Those who understand and practice the “easy burden and yoke” of Christ’s gospel will be at peace, and understand the purpose for the trials and tribulation in the world.
To the courageous who read the book from the beginning to the end, this book will promise the realization of the profound statement: The truth will set you free.

Some of the most important things are yet to happened.
1)There has to be a third Temple built in Jerusalem.
2) A military ruler will come from the north, to invade the Middle East and bring along a world-wide system of religion to the world.
3) Next, there would be like 2 prophets appearing from God's side. That would cause all sorts of droughts and plagues. This has been reported in the Bible since the time of Moses and Elijah.
So far, none of these have occured.But nothing's moving on the stage you might say. It's all just in place, but the drama hasn't really begun. ...

We are not yet in the tribulations. We are, however in the "begining of sorrows" (Matthew 24:8) and the tribulations are approaching.
As for 2012, I do not personally set dates. If you would like to read it, here is a theory from a christian writer about 2012 and what he sees as it's prophetic significance. It is pretty interesting:

The Mayan calendar ends December 2012. The Bible says no man knows the day or the hour, but we do know the season. Yes I believe we are in that season. Why? No other generation of man kind has had the technology we do today. Meaning the part where the two witnesses are seen by everyone lying in the street dead for three days. Every eye shall see Jesus coming in the clouds in the eastern sky. With technology of todays times, we all can see at the same time.

The Mayan calendar was meant to be cyclical, like a clock. Just because it stopped at 2012, doesn't mean the world will end at 2012.
