From what I can gather on google, one of the more important languages to learn is C++, but it all depends on which platform you want to write for. For example, if you want to write for iOS, you'll need to learn Objective-C or Swift. With android phones, you'll want to learn to program in Java. But that's not to say that these are the ones you should learn; there's some great video games written in Python, Ruby, C#, and even JavaScript, just to name a few off the top of my head. I think that there's at least one amazing video game written in every language. I could be wrong though since there's a ton of languages and I probably can't name a quarter of them.

Yes, you can most certainly create high end video games using Java. You can even use the OpenGL API in Java via the Light Weight Java Game Library(LWJGL). Ever heard of Minecraft? Yes that popular game. It was made entirely in Java.

Java with a decent game framework like Coco's will work, however if you want to do cross platform programming such as writing code that runs both on Windows, iOS and Android... use something like JavaScript and Phaser would probably be a better choice.
