App version may be received via iTunes Search API. For example, you can request a json that contains your app version by bundle id with url like this https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=com.yelp.yelpiphone
and after receiving an answer, you can find a version parameter.
Check out this answer for info on navigation to app location.

The App Store website is not the same the App Store app, is it. – Droppy Jun 04 '15 at 10:10

itms:// links will be handled by appstore app as well – Sega-Zero Jun 04 '15 at 10:11

But that still doesn't take you to the *update* section of the App Store app. – Droppy Jun 04 '15 at 10:12

but the app may be updated from the app page. there is no way to open appstore update page isnt' it? – Sega-Zero Jun 04 '15 at 10:13

I don't believe so, no. I don't think Apple want you doing this kind of thing. – Droppy Jun 04 '15 at 10:14

Exactly. So opening an app's page will be the best solution to OP's question, i think. This is not against apples guidelines. – Sega-Zero Jun 04 '15 at 10:15
