For me the first sentence sounds softer and more polite, but I don't think there is a very big difference.

The first one sounds good.
The second one doesn’t really have a reference to anything. You could be talking about anything or anyone. To fix it, you’d say “is it possible for it to be earlier?”
In terms of which one sounds better, there’s really no difference.

#1 works well for most situations unless you want to sound formal or quite polite.
#2 seems grammatically incorrect to me.
Are you asking about meeting or talking with someone at an earlier time?
If so, I would say 'Would there happen to be an earlier time you're available?'
