Growth varies from: Person to person, unaffected by masturbation. Growth may slow at age 18-19 but have some increase after age 20. Here is a calculation to serve as a rough prediction of your expected height: add father's height + 13 cm to mother's height and divide the total by 2. Best regards.

Normal masturbation: Once you have completed puberty you are unlikely to grow any taller. Masturbation does not affect growth in any way. As long as masturbation is done in moderation (i.e. Not constantly), there are no long term medical consequences.

No/no: Linear growth depends on open growth centers in your long bones.The hormones that increase in puberty also signal these growth centers to finish up and close.Most will close in men at 17-18.A single x-ray of your wrist/hand can detect open/closed growth centers. Sex, whether solo or partner has no effect on your growth.
