Answer 1

You should probably use

select userName from Table where user_id in (1, 2, 3);

Answer 2

Yes, @Stelian Galimati I would say answers your question directly. However, if want to have more flexibility with your querys I would recommend looking up nested SQL selects. This may be a helpful beginners tutorial for you. In addition, there is this that will allow you to test out your SQL. A quick example of this would be:

SELECT userId
FROM table_1
WHERE userName IN {
    SELECT userName
    From table_2
    WHERE userLastName = "Smith"
}

To elaborate on @Stelian Galimatis answer, if you wanted to select any number of user_names given a number of parameters (which may be objects and not int values) you could additionally use named parameters as such,

SELECT userName
FROM table_1
WHERE userId IN {
    :user1,
    :user2,
    :user3,
}
