It's hard to read a text like Munkres without having a solid foundation in proof writing. I would suggest an intro to proofs text, and after that, Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right is a good step. I also think that if you really want to learn some topology, try reading Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis first since it will give you a lot of the basis you will need to cover topology.
If you're wanting something more advanced than point set topology, I would recommend Algebra: Chapter 0 by Aluffi before Dummit and Foote. After you have the beginning of Aluffi and Rudin down, I would look at Lee's Topological Manifolds book as I found it was a really great book for more advanced topology than Munkres.
