Use this query to select data from a stored procedure :

SQL

sp_configure 'Show Advanced Options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=servername\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
     'EXEC dbname.dbo.sp_who')

You can even send parameters to that stored procedure.

Hope it helps.

No, its not possible.
You have to rewrite your procedure to user defined function.
