Answer 1

When you get the arguments of a method (using method_copyArgumentType as mentioned in the other answer), the "type" it returns is either a C type (like int, float, etc) or just Object (returned as a "@"). Sadly it's not possible to get the objective-C type that a method is expecting — that information is lost when you compile.
