Answer 1

Yes thats possible using Twitter and Accounts framework:
ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType withCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if(granted) {
// Get the list of Twitter accounts.
NSArray *accountsArray = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
// For the sake of brevity, we'll assume there is only one Twitter account present.
// You would ideally ask the user which account they want to tweet from, if there is more than one Twitter account present.
if ([accountsArray count] > 0) {
// Grab the initial Twitter account to tweet from.
ACAccount *twitterAccount = [accountsArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://api.twitter.com/1/favorites/create/%d.json", tweetID];
TWRequest *postRequest = [[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]
parameters:nil
requestMethod:TWRequestMethodPOST];
[postRequest setAccount:twitterAccount];
[postRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error) {
NSString *output = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"HTTP response status: %i", [urlResponse statusCode]];
NSLog(#"%#", output);
}];
}
}
}];
}
Also take a look at the Twitter REST API documentation: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/favorites/create/%3Aid
