Answer 1

@Patrick is correct with what he said, but to answer your other questions a View will create itself in Memory, and depending on the type of Joins, Data and if there is any aggregation done, it could be a quite memory hungry View.

Stored procedures do all their processing either using Temp Hash Table e.g #tmpTable1 or in memory using @tmpTable1. Depending on what you want to tell it to do.

A Stored Procedure is like a Function, but is called Directly by its name. instead of Functions which are actually used inside a query itself.

Obviously most of the time Memory tables are faster, if you are not retrieveing alot of data.
