Well, the expansion, the Frozen Throne expands upon the events after Reign of Chaos. You can play the Frozen Throne right of the start (if you want) but it is best to play Reign of Chaos first to get yourself acquainted with the whole story. As for the second question, yes, for both the campaign and the skirmish, you can play as different races.
Just a note: For the single player campaign, much like previous Blizzards' titles (Starcraft and Warcraft), the story is divided into different chapters and each chapter have a race. After you finish the first chapter, you will play as a different race in the next chapter. It's sort of like playing through the story from the perspective of different races.
