A:
The favicon is just a file or number of files that live in the root of the website. The most common is favicon.ico but there may be favicon.png or others. So for website X just download http://x/favicon.ico

A:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/favicon.ico"];
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:data];
Now image contains the favicon.

To be complete you'd probably need to look at the link tags "shortcut icon" and "icon" for better favicons supported by Firefox and i think recent IEs.
