Crank compatibility

I've been looking to swap out my triple crank with a double, I saw a couple good deals lately. However, I have a few questions.
First, I read somewhere that you can set a triple shifter to work for a double crank. In my case it's an older shimano 105. How well does this work?
Second, I have a shimano 9 speed cassette. The crank I'm looking to get is an FSA with s-10 chainrings. From what I can find the "s-10" chainrings is only compatible with Shimano or Campy 10 speed cassettes. Has anyone tried to use one successfully with a Shimano 9 speed? Can I just change the chain to a narrow 10 speed chain?
My bike is a specialized allez if it matters.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
