I would like to pass a column to a function, and have it unioned together with my other data in it's own row... for example given the data:
CommaColumn ValueColumn1 ValueColumn2
----------- ------------ -------------
ABC,123 1 2
XYZ, 789 2 3
I would like to write something like:
SELECT Split(CommaColumn,',') As SplitValue, ValueColumn1, ValueColumn2 FROM MyTable
And get back
SplitValue ValueColumn1 ValueColumn2
---------- ------------ ------------
ABC 1 2
123 1 2
XYZ 2 3
789 2 3
Is this possible, or has anyone done this before?

Sure no problem. Use the DelimitedSplit8K function.
select * from
(Values('ABC,123', 1, 2),
('XYZ,789', 2, 3)) x(col1, col2, col3)
cross apply dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(col1, ',') s
Take a look at the article in my signature about splitting strings.
