Answer 1

In Interface Builder:

1. Create an UITabBarController and set it as the initial View Controller.
2. Create an UITableViewController.
3. Select the UITableViewController and go to the menu bar > Editor > Embed in > Navigation Controller.
4. Select your UITabBarController and CTRL-drag from it to the UINavigationController.
5. Choose Relationship Segue > view controllers.
6. Now, any View Controller you will add in the UINavigationController stack will be presented in the same UITabBarController.

To perform a segue from the first-in-stack UITableViewController connected to the UINavigationController, to another ViewController you must of course first create another ViewController, create a segue to it in Interface Builder, create an identifier for your segue and in your code perform it by calling the appropriate function in Swift like:

optional func performSegueWithIdentifier(_ identifier: String,
                                  sender sender: AnyObject?)

Here's a sample on how your Interface Builder could look like:
