Is it possible to fix an inertial frame to a photon moving in vacuum? If yes, what is the speed of another photon moving in vacuum with respect to this frame? What is the proper time measured by the second photon between two events? Please provide references for the answers.

No. In an inertial frame a photon moves at $c$, and in a frame attached to a photon it moves at $0$. That is a contradiction, so it is not possible.
