Answer 1

You first need to implement the touch sensing methods from UIResponder chain. The methods you need to implement are

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event

Inside this methods you can use Core Graphics drawing methods to draw custom drawing. This tutorial will walk you through the steps.
