Answer 1

Have you missed something in your object name. It should be always like Database.User.ObjectName (for e.g. Northwind.dbo.Customers)

Give complete object name when running queries via Linked servers.

Query for Stored Procedure may be like this when executing on Linked Servers:

Select  *
From    OPENQUERY([COM2\SQLEXPRESS], 'Exec Northwind.dbo.CustOrderHist ''CUST1''') as TB1

Check with options like SET FMTONLY OFF when executing Stored procedure.
