No, "tall height" is not correct, because "height" is a measurement of tallness or altitude (a vertical distance), and a measurement can be large or small, but not tall. So you can say a great height, but not a tall height. You can use "tall" by itself to refer to a relatively great height (for example, a tall building).

This is a fairly subtle point of usage. It is not uncommon to hear people say things like "tall height", because something of great height is tall, but the height itself is not tall. Another example is "cheap price": a price can be high or low, and an item with a low price is cheap, but the price itself cannot be cheap.

No, it is redundant to say "tall height" as "tall" already implies height. You can simply say "tall" to convey the same meaning.
