Some background info: I completed about 60 credits at a university during high-school and transferred to another (more highly regarded, if that matters) university upon graduation. I'm planning on applying next cycle.

Would it be OK and reasonable to get a LOR from a science professor who knew me really well at my previous institution? It will be about 2 years since my graduation there at the time when I apply.

As long as the date is recent, you're fine.

How old can letters be? I'm asking evaluators for letters now for next years application. Does that mean any letters I get this summer will be considered a year old when I apply?

One year old is fine. Try not to have more than one that is two years old. If more than two years, it's best to try to have the writer reissue it with a new date. Obviously, these are just guidelines. Sometimes one has no choice about providing older letters when one has engaged in noteworthy activities just prior to applying (military, another career, and Peace Corps being examples.
 
Thanks for all of the advice everyone! I will ask her for a letter sometime in the fall! 🙂
