Does having small hands mean i won't grow any taller?

Depends on age: Having small hands does not mean you wont grow any taller. It depends how old you are, and how far along in the pubertal process you are (especially for girls) that determines how much growth you have left.

No: Though your profile says you are 37, females stop growing taller when they are 14 and males stop when they are 16.
