I want to learn advanced customized UI design in Cocoa including UI element design, Is there any book or other good learning source for it?
Regards
Matt Gemmell did a good talk for NSConference 09 (available on Vimeo for free) called Designing and Developing Custom Cocoa Controls. He also had a recent blog post about API design where he discusses the thought process of designing a GUI component.
As a good starting point I'd check out cocoacontrols.com they have a lot if advanced custom UI projects, and a lot of them are open source, Apache, and MIT liscenced.

I searched through internet but couldn't find a satisfactory answer about Metro UI , Are those tiles are called Metro UI. Is that much hype is about only tiles and flash like applications ?
What is Metro UI?
Metro UI are not just tiles, the metro design is an idea of how to design user interfaces, and how to improve the user experience. There are a lot of principles in metro, but I think the leading one is content not chrome. There are a lot of articles out in the web, I can advise this one http://www.stephanemassey.com/metro-design-principles/

I have an App that is translated to four languages. I find that updating and maintaining the strings files extremely tedious.
Is there a way to edit different translations side by side similar to what IntelliJ provides:
(source: jetbrains.com)
I would also be happy with a simply MS-Excel to Strings conversion script, where the Excel would be the master and the .strings files would be generated.
These apps saved me from a world of hurt. There's no guide, so you'd have to figure it out yourself. The apps are free though and very well designed.

My company use a tool called Localization Helper from Mac App Store. I reckon it's pretty good.
How about Linguan?

what is the recommended progression of topics that one should pursue if they are trying to self-learn iOS programming after a solid foundation of the C programming language is established?
How about buying an Objective-C book on amazon.
Object Oriented Design and ObjC Memory Management -- just try porting your C programs to ObjC, learn the APIs (mostly in Foundation.framework) and see how it executes in a sampler. Then make more complex programs of great quality, then move on to UIs and more specialized frameworks you're interested in.

Can somebody tell me the best iPhone wireframe creator software?
You could try
It does sketchy wireframes and High Res ones depending on what you’re after and can turn them into an interactive prototype too. It will also export the coordinates of all the screen elements to a Word doc
UxToolbox
Try iPlotz. Look for other tools here
Here is a great free to to prototype iphone apps http://www.justinmind.com/prototyper/free-edition it's completely free and great to build clickable mockups for web and mobile apps. It has a good collaboration feature as well.

I would like to know if there are any tutorial websites for learning PyObjC apart from the home page of the project itself. I'm enthusiastic about being able to use python to develop native code and be productive without learning how to program in some of the other more traditional compiled languages. Anywhere I could get a screencast or good beginner tuts would be excellent.
You could start with Will Larson's stuff. You could read the Apple docs and do the temperature conversion thingie. You could do what I did and get Hillegass's book and then do the examples using PyObjC. You could read my stuff. I have lots of simple examples, but I'm just an amateur. You don't need to worry about Objective-C yet, but if you stick with it, you probably will.
And you really must learn that case matters.
