If you count the height off the sea floor the tallest volcano would be Mauna Loa with a rough height of 58,000 feet from base to summit. THis number is taken from the 11,000 feet above sealevel, plus the additional 28,000 feet to the sea floor, and another 19,000 feet that has been compressed into the sea floor due to the large weight of the mountain.

Yes, also known as seafloor spreading! A rift zone volcano is called a mid-ocean ridge. The seafloor splits & spreads apart at a mid-ocean ridge, with lava seeping out of this fissure. The lava forms new seafloor. The older seafloor moves away from the ridge. Therefore, our ocean floor is actually spreading, at a rate of about two inches per year in the Atlantic ocean, and about 13 in the Pacific.
