Can you drive a car and bike, I'm assuming you can't if you do not have a driving licence from your home country, you will need to do everything, eyesight test etc, exam, practical exam, watch video maybe for many hours, someone might know for certain.

 Not so many hours, Be prepared with Certificate of Residence from Immigration, medical (maybe), copy of passport details. Arrive DVLC about 08.30, paper work check, reaction checks, not sure you do the one hour video. Afternoon do practical driving test (you supply car  and m/bike). Get  2 licences that day.

You need a certificate of residence for each licence so that's 2.

I can drive both ?

The question is how do I bring my own car without having a driving license ?
Can I rent one nearby and bring it ?

LiK/others - with the practical driving test for the m/bike, what kind of motorbike is required?  Will a Click type scooter do or is a proper manual bike required?
