Answer 1

Try this:
view.frame = CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, -view.frame.size.height, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height);
[self.tableView addSubview:view];
[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(view.frame.size.height, 0, 0, 0)];
this will add the view above the cells and move the cells down by the height of the added view.

I am no getting why you are adding subview to Tableview. May be you want to add something to each cell of tableView. You can do this by adding:
[cell.contentView addSubview:yourSubView];
in
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
}

Both of self.tableView and myView should not be nil
What do you mean myView.view?
this piece of code works good for me:
UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 200)];
UILabel *labelView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 80, 200, 20)];
labelView.text = #"TEST";
[headerView addSubview:labelView];
[self.tableView addSubview:headerView];

For Swift:
let foregroundView = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, tableView.bounds.size.height))
foregroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
tableView.addSubview(foregroundView)
foregroundView.bringSubviewToFront(tableView)
You can remove it also:
foregroundView.removeFromSuperview()

Simply replace your line of code with the one below:
[self.tableView.superview addSubview:myView];
Note:
I am not certain about myView.view in line of code you mentioned in your question.
