Answer 1

Using Common_Table_Expression we can write like this

WITH Employee_CTE(employeeid,hierarchy_level,name) AS  
(  
   SELECT employeeid,1 as level,name from employee where employeeid=1 
   UNION ALL  
   SELECT e.employeeid,level +1, e.name 
   from employee e   
   INNER JOIN Employee_CTE c ON e.employeeid = c.managerid  
)  
SELECT * FROM Employee_CTE order by employeeid
