Answer 1

Remove the group by clause and your query should be fine.

Answer 2

You're going to have to do an inner queries to get the data you're looking for:

SELECT max.SizeXLName as maxSize, min.SizeXLName as minSize
  FROM 
  (SELECT MAX(tblSizeXL.SizeXLID) as MaxSizeXLID, MIN(tblSizeXL.SizeXLID) as MinSizeXLID
     FROM Product
     JOIN tblSizeXL ON Product.SizeXLID = tblSizeXL.SizeXLID
    WHERE Product..GroupID = @GroupID) base
  JOIN tblSizeXL max ON max.SizeXLID = base.MaxSizeXLID
  JOIN tblSizeXL min on min.SizeXLID = base.MinSizeXLID
