You can only get the ISP and a (very approximate) localisation if it's a private individual, but if it's a company you can sometimes know who it is and have its precise localisation.

In order to do so you must use a whois service (Arin for the US and Ripe for Europe: http://www.arin.net/whois/ , http://www.ripe.net/whois ).
