Answer 1

First you have to create a type in SQL then can use as given below

 CREATE TYPE FRUIT_TT AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100)

SELECT column_value AS val
FROM   TABLE(FRUIT_TT('Apple','Banana','Apricot'))
WHERE  column_value NOT LIKE 'A%';

Here a type FRUIT_TT is created and using it in SQL query.

Answer 2

Here is an example, you just need to adjust your SQL statement.

CREATE TYPE col_ntt IS TABLE OF NUMBER;

CREATE TABLE num_tab
(
    col NUMBER
);

INSERT INTO num_tab VALUES(1);
INSERT INTO num_tab VALUES(2);
INSERT INTO num_tab VALUES(4);

DECLARE
    l_col1  col_ntt := col_ntt(1, 2, 3);
    l_col2  col_ntt;
BEGIN
    SELECT  *
    BULK    COLLECT INTO l_col2
    FROM    num_tab
    WHERE   col IN (SELECT column_value FROM TABLE(l_col1));

    FOR indx IN 1..l_col2.COUNT LOOP
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(l_col2(indx));
    END LOOP;
END;
