Height growth is determined by genetic factors and mildly modified by nutrition. Growth occurres at different ages between birth and 21-22 years differently in different people. The only thing we can do is to take a well balanced diet and regular physical exercises to promote growth.

Yes you are still in growing age as your bones growing centers don't fuse before 18
After that growth doesn't usually happen
You need good exercise and nutrition to gain maximum genetically possible height.
Avoid weight gain or getting obese.
