If you don't know this, you don't deserve to get the job! This is very basic stuff, that I would expect anyone who has done anything with SQL to know.

If you can't answer this yourself, then you will fail the rest of the interview when they get to the harder stiff.
Read a book, and learn the basics!

In brief: Function is a named block of T-SQL statements that return a value. Stored procedure is a named block of T-SQL statements.

This actually answers all of your three questions (even though it's not exactly precise).

I do agree with OriginalGriff, you should get the basics right before applying for the job. On the other hand, going to the interviews is a very educating process. So I suggest, go to few of them, don't lie that you know something that you don't, listen carefully what your'e asked.

I believe that this way you will get a good understanding what expectations the companies have and this knowledge helps you to focus on the key areas where you still have some learning to do.
