Answer 1

The cell hasn't been created when heightForRowAtIndexPath: is called, so there's no way to "get" a cell. Instead, look at your model and determine the height of the cell that way.

If you're concerned about long strings and needing more vertical space in your cell, consider using sizeWithFont:forWidth:lineBreakMode:. Docs here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/NSString_UIKit_Additions/Reference/Reference.html
