Answer
Let us start by the second question about the difference between processes and procedures. A process is a set of activities taken in order to achieve a particular end. A documented procedure is a written description about how to perform certain activity or activities. So, process and procedure are two different things. About the first question the answer is yes. One can document a 9001 process in a procedure but remember a process is much more than a procedure.

The following material will provide you information the process approach:
