No, you can't use .22 WRF ammo in a .22 WMR firearm. I'm sure a local gun shop would offer you fair value for the ammo, though.
As for the rifle you seek, I think the only slide-action .22 Magnum on the market at this time is made by Henry.

Most manual action .22 magnums will work OK with the WRF. It has been a long time but if memory serves there is a tiny difference in diameter and the magnum case is longer but I know I have fired WRF in magnum rifles with no problem
Of course the WRF will not have enough power to operate a semi-auto.

Ok, but can I use .22 WFR in a gun that uses .22LR?
As to the .22mag gun, I'm looking for a pistol. I have a .22mag rifle by Marlin. Nice shooter.

wiki:
.22 WRF ammunition is periodically offered by commercial makers for use in the old guns.[1] It can be fired in any rifle chambered for the more powerful .22 WMR.[1]
