Answer 1

Whenever you call addAnnotation method - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id < MKAnnotation >)annotation gets called. Have look at the screenshot.

You can find this on MKMapView Class Reference

P.S. Put breakpoints at addAnnotation call and - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id < MKAnnotation >)annotation you will see the flow of function call easily.
