Can I file this year's tax and then amend last year's tax? Or should I wait for this year's refund and then amend ast year's tax?

It will not matter what order you do that. You can either file this years return and amends last year return, or amends last years return and file this years return. Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.  

Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.   If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.

How many times can I amend one year's tax return? Thank you!

THere is no limit. The IRS doesn't put a limit on the number of times you re able to amend your tax return AS LONG as you are filing within the statute of limitations. Generally you cannot amend your return past 3 years from when it was filed.
