ring around, some bikeshops will have the tool to thread your fork and cut it to the correct size for you.

yes, but you should ask a local bike mechanic for their advice, it's not as simple as to cut off the threaded portion and it may not be economical to buy another fork. If you change from threaded to threadless, you'll need a new stem and likely a new headset too. Your picture does not show which stem you have.
