Answer 1

To open iPhone photo library use like that:

-(IBAction)pickphoto:(id)sender
{
    [self startMediaBrowserFromViewController: self usingDelegate: self];
}

- (BOOL) startMediaBrowserFromViewController: (UIViewController*) controller
                               usingDelegate: (id <UIImagePickerControllerDelegate,
                                               UINavigationControllerDelegate>) delegate{

    if (([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:
          UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum] == NO)
        || (delegate == nil)
        || (controller == nil))
        return NO;

    UIImagePickerController *mediaUI = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    mediaUI.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;

    mediaUI.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: (NSString *) kUTTypeMovie,kUTTypeImage, nil];
    mediaUI.allowsEditing = YES;

    mediaUI.delegate = delegate;

    [controller presentModalViewController: mediaUI animated: YES];
    return YES;

}

- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController *) picker
 didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary *) info
{

    NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
 thumbnail = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
 [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

Hope it helps you.
