Answer 1

If you want to present a media browser to the user (so that he/she can pick an image), I think you can only choose to present the entire photo library or the Camera Roll album (or Saved Photos album, if the device hasn't a camera).

EDIT

I've found here, on github an open source UIImagePickerController clone by Jeena. Maybe, it should be useful for you.

Answer 2

You should use ALAssetsLibrary and make your own custom picker. You can find a custom image picker using ALAssetsLibrary at https://github.com/B-Sides/ELCImagePickerController

When the user selects an image from the custom picker, you are returned with the ALAsset object from which you can get the required image, album it belongs to etc. You can save that and modify the custom picker to navigate to a selected album.
