Inner tube
I have a 28 x 2.125 or 700 x 45c tire. Will I be okay to run a 27.5 by 2.125 inner tube until I can get the proper inner tube?

You might have a slight issue with pinching when mounting as the tube will hug the rim tighter. Once installed, it should be ok if you are in a hurry to get going. Instead of going to the trouble to mount and then change later, why not just get the proper sized tubes now?

I need help.
Outside of my bike says 700x30mm tire.
My inner tube got a hole and I want to replace it. It says 700x28/38C
Yes, I measure the stem and it is 42mm.
Can I get this: 700c x 18-25c 42mm Stem Presta Valve

I'd recommend a bit wider tube. Something like a 28/32 or 28/35. I don't think I have ever seen a 28/38
