Only the first is correct.

Batman, you sometimes omit the subject of your sentences (eg '[I] just wanted to ask ...' '[It] would be cool to get know someone ...')

This is fine in informal speech or correspondence, but please avoid doing so on the forum as an example to other students, who are hoping to see examples of good practice.

Wait, so -

Just wanted to ask you would it be okay if I brought a guest.

And

Just wanted to ask you if it would be okay I brought a guest.

- is wrong even in informal speech?

Yes, although a close friend wouldn't give a damn.
