Answer 1

Use a loopback query like this

    SELECT SPID, Status, Login, HostName, BlkBy,DBName, 
   Command, CPUTime, DiskIO, LastBatch, ProgramName
        INTO #TempSpWho2
        FROM OPENROWSET ('SQLOLEDB','Server=(local);TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES;',
      'set fmtonly off exec master.dbo.sp_who2')

    SELECT * FROM #TempSpWho2

on SQL Server 2005 and up use sys.dm_exec_sessions and sys.dm_exec_requests
