Was trying to put in a new sink, decided to take out the probably 20 - 30 year old P trap and found it was pretty much attached with some kind of putty or epoxy, who knows.
I have PVC pipe but nothing that I can think of using to fit against that gross metal pipe. Anyone have any recommendations or products I can use?

What is the diameter of the pipe in the wall? Is all of your drain pipe metal in the house? I once had a similar situation where the previous owner transitioned from PVC to metal and then back to PVC with the p trap. You might have to open the wall a bit to see the pipe more.
Yes you can and the easiest way is with a Fernco style flexible coupling . You really need to start new right at the sink with a new basket and tailpiece, adapt to 1 1/2” ABS as soon as possible and connect to the copper stub in the wall with the flexible coupler.
Not a pro myself....You could probably do a shark bite or a rubber coupler
Ah yeah I've already used one of those rubber couplers for my washing machine, I'd just be worried since its horizontal and may have water sitting on it
