Hello. This is the first time I will be filing taxes. Can I use both my 2016 1098t form and 2017 1098t form while filing taxes? If yes, could you please tell me how?

I have a couple of w2 forms from my employers to be used too. Can I add them to my 1098t forms?

No, you cannot use a 2016 1098T on your 2017 tax return. Only documents dated 2017 can go on your 2017 tax return. If you are a dependent on someone (parents) else's tax return, they are the ones who should be using that 1098T on their tax return. If your W-2's are for 2017, then they need to be entered on your 2017 tax return. After you enter the first one, click Add W-2 and enter the next one.
