Well, there is a balance between strength and muscle size.

If you want to get really strong, you'll have to accept having really big muscles.

But if you just want to get stronger, then the key is to exercise on a sensible level.

If you keep the weights so that you can do 3 sets of 10 repetitions, or even 4 sets of 10 reps, muscle growth won't be that much.

Do people gain weight as they get taller?

possibly. Muscles and bone weight more than fat; thus, if one is gaining height (an expansion of muscle and bone), one should naturally gain weight. This is natural, and is nothing to worry about; growing taller can help distribute fat around your body, making you look slimmer (while gaining weight).
