Answers:
Well milk can help you grow taller because it is a good source of calcium which is vital for bone health. However, it is your overall diet that is important. There is not point in drinking lots of milk and then living on junk food - it just won't work - your body will lack other nutrients needed by the body. Eat and drink healthily and i'm sure you may grow a little taller. However a good indication of what height you are likely to reach is to take a look at your parents - in most cases people grow to a similar height/slightly taller than their parents average height. But obviously sometimes there are exceptions. Height is a highly genetic trait, but a good environment (e.g. quality of food, exercise, good health) also plays a small role in height determination.
