You really don't need so much. These ideas are not totally wrong, they're possible, but a bit unnecessary. (reinventing wheels)
You may want to consider starting with basic iOS app development.
Also consider that many web apps (blogs, forums, etc...) have APIs made of SOAP or REST calls.
URLs also pass data back and forth.
You should review basics of HTPP and web app development and then look at the cocoa and cocoa touch classes related to URL handling, cookies, etc...
You can make an app much like the facebook app and only store the user login data and then you have a custom local UI with buttons that interact with the site, then a view that renders content returned from the site.
Not hard, just a bit of reading.
Learn the basics first.
Cocoa is rich, and big, and most of what you need is already there. However, you cannot start Cocoa without first learning from the ground up.
Just hacking junk together will result in a crappy app.
