No, you cannot get Lugia before you beat the elite four. You must beat the elite four first to get Lugia. Also, remember to bring a lot of ultra balls and any other Poke Balls you wish to try to capture Lugia in.
Good luck!

Yes, if you faint Lugia in "Pokémon HeartGold" and "Pokémon SoulSilver" then you will get another chance to capture it. Once you faint it, you have to go beat the Elite 4 and the Champion before it'll regenerate.
Yes you can. In Soul Silver you get to catch Lugia first. But in Heart Gold, you have to defeat the Elite 4 to get Lugia. Go to Whirlpool Island.
I'm pretty sure it should be the last badge before you go off to the elite 4:)
No you can trade anytime before beating the elite four.
