Nope again. The two stories are basically just as separate as Bioshock 1 from Infinite. Similar universe but separate plots.
You do meet 4 characters from the first game, but they're actually the characters that you played in the first game, so they never really got a story in the first place. Their story is pretty much what happens in Borderlands 2.
Also in my opinion the second one is a much better game overall and is time better spend than the first one.
