Answer 1

This Developer.apple documentation explains how to use an image picker controller and delegate for browsing and choosing saved pictures and movies. If the standard media browsing UI does not suit your needs, you can create a fully custom solution with UIKit and the Assets Library framework
Media types To specify whether the image picker controller displays saved movies, still images, or both, set the mediaTypes property to an array containing identifiers for the desired types. The valid values for elements of the array are kUTTypeImage and kUTTypeMovie.
Presenting the media browser interface full screen on iPhone or iPod touch
-(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;
// Displays saved pictures and movies, if both are available, from the
// Camera Roll album.
mediaUI.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: (NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, nil];
// Hides the controls for moving & scaling pictures, or for
// trimming movies. To instead show the controls, use YES.
mediaUI.allowsEditing = NO;
mediaUI.delegate = delegate;
[controller presentModalViewController: mediaUI animated: YES];
return YES;
}
- (IBAction) showSavedMediaBrowser {
[self startMediaBrowserFromViewController: self
usingDelegate: self];
}
Delegate method for picked media
- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController *) picker
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary *) info {
}

Yes it is possible.
You can get all video's asset urls using the following code:
NSMutableArray* assetURLs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
void (^assetEnumerator)( ALAsset *, NSUInteger, BOOL *) = ^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop)
{
if(result != nil)
{
if([[result valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyType] isEqualToString:ALAssetTypeVideo])
{
[assetURLs addObject:[result valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyURLs]];
NSLog(#"result is:%#",result);
NSURL *url= (NSURL*) [[result defaultRepresentation]url];
[library assetForURL:url
resultBlock:^(ALAsset *asset)
{
// do stuff here
}
failureBlock:^(NSError *error){ NSLog(#"test:Fail"); } ];
}
}
};
You can use the asset url to get that video.
After that create the thumbnail of the video and display it in the tableView.
Also you can play the video using the asset url:
Asset url will look like: assets-library://asset/asset.m4v?id=100&ext=m4v
NSString *urlAddress = #"assets-library://asset/asset.m4v?id=100&ext=m4v";
NSURL *movieURL= [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
MPMoviePlayerController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: movieURL];
