Answer 1

Yes it is. The only thing to keep in mind with categories is that you cannot @synthesize properties in them. Adding ivars in categories is more difficult as well.

Answer 2

You don't have to create an entirely separate named protocol in a different file if you're only using it against one class. In fact, you probably shouldn't because it's just confusing.

If you want to keep your primary class' .h file clean, just move this:

@interface DetailViewController (Protocols) <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>

@end

into your primary .m file above the @implementation

I don't see why you wouldn't want to declare in your .h that your primary class implements the tableview delegate and datasource protocols, though. They're descriptive.
