Answer 1

Rewire your segue from the ViewController itself and give it a name. Then in the didSelectRow method call

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"yourSegueName"];

Som for anyone else who finds that selecting a UITableViewCell in a UITableView does not call the associated segue, check if your cell identifier is set correctly in both the storyboard and tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:.
