Its not possible to Monitor(Browse) the Files in IOS. Apple does not Approve this type of applications. And also iPhone/iPad we can't access the Other Application Data's. As per your point The PDF must be located in Other iOS Application. We can't Browse the Files Except Bundles and Documents folder.
Only way you can Upload file to Server and Make browser list Using Tableview.
The following are the possible ways to do this.

In iOS for iPhone -iPad app do we have a facility to pick/import/copy documents or files directly from photo library or Dropbox or GoogleDrive or any other similar kind of app in to our native application?
Or using some url-scheme can we directly upload it to server by just giving the path?
This kind of functionality is being provided by Google's Android OS. Do we have similar to that in iOS? Or how can we implement that?

This problem is not related to GWT. Just provide links to files in your app. When a user clicks on link, user's browser/PC will decide what to do with a file. It will either open the file within a browser (PDF, images, some video and music files depending on a browser), or it will offer to save them.
In the web page, I have file upload widget. I need to show this web page on UIWebView. Is it possible to browse the file system and upload the pdf, doc, xls files?
Note: this answer was correct when written in 2012 and iOS 5 was current. iOS 6 introduced media uploads and iOS 8 allowed arbitrary file uploads.
No is the short answer. iOS has no user accessible file-system.
At WWDC they announced the ability to upload pictures in iOS6 but there is no publically available information on how that works.
You could do it by interacting directly with the website using the lower level tools (NSURLConnection, etc) and creating your own "open" dialog.
iOS grants the webView no means to browse the file system, so no you will not be able to use the normal upload mechanism in UIWebView
You will have to present some API to your web server that allows you to send images as POST
The answer would be NO, since the webview runs in a different sandbox as compared to native applications.
Also there is no accessible file system mechanism like android for iOS.
Even native application have very limited file access pertaining to only their own and certain user directories like tmp, documents etc.

I want to design like upload widget. Im using MonoTouch for developing iPhone application. Is there any to do like this?
You should be researching how to do this in C# in general. It should be the same as using MonoTouch.
Here is an example link. Of course, it all depends on what server you are wanting to upload the file to. You don't mention what protocol you want to use, if it's Linux or Windows, if you have any control of the server, etc.
In some of the apps, I have seen its possible to upload files to the library of a certain application. They ask to type "http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx" and then to upload files to that location which inturn becomes available for download in iphone when we use the same URL.
Do anyone have an idea how to do it OR where to look for to gain info about this?
create a HTTP server app on iPhone, so the upload file also can be implemented in the app
