No: At 26 years old, presumably you have finished growing. There is not a way to increase your height.

No: You should be at your full adult height at this time.

Not likely: There is almost know chance of further growth (unless you have had some serious condition for years that delays skeletal maturation). You still have plenty of time to grow as a person. Who you are how you treat others, and what you can contribute as a person are all more important than your height. A short nice person, beats a tall bully every time, everywhere!
