INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS should be all you need...

SELECT  *
FROM    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS

Answer 3

Try the following query to get a list of all parameters for a stored procedure. Change the select to a COUNT(*) if you just want the number of parameters.

SELECT 
    p.name AS Parameter,        
    t.name AS [Type]
FROM sys.procedures sp
JOIN sys.parameters p 
    ON sp.object_id = p.object_id
JOIN sys.types t
    ON p.system_type_id = t.system_type_id
WHERE sp.name = '<name>'
