What do you mean, exactly? 1200 - 1300 ft. if you mean altitude, referring to static line jumps. They can be as low as 400 ft., however.

If you join the us army will you jump out of airplanes?

You only jump out of airplanes if you volunteer for it - that's also an easy way to spot a phony veteran, is that they'll say they were "selected" to be in the Airborne, Ranger, Special Forces, Marine Recon, or any other unit of particular status. If you don't want to be in the Airborne, just don't enlist under an Airborne contract. It's really that simple. Now, if you want to be assigned at certain duty stations, it may be a prerequisite for being in that unit. However, nobody's compelled to serve in any unit on jump status - it's entirely voluntary. A lot of personnel are what those of us who've been in units on active jump status like to refer to as "five jump chumps" or "almost Airborne" - they'll get Airborne in their contract (or during their ROTC course, for officers), do their five jumps, get their wings, and never jump again.

How do you get an airborne tab?

You only get to wear an Airborne tab if you're serving in an Airborne unit - there is one exception to this, which is the 101st - no longer an Airborne division, but they retain the tab for historical reasons. Even in the leg divisions, you can still be on jump status. Each division has a LRS-D (Long Range Surveillance Detachment), which is assigned to the Military Intelligence unit for that division. You will have to try out for it, when tryouts are open. Some divisions will require you to be jump qualified before you attend LRS-D tryouts - others may send personnel who are not jump qualified to the jump school at Fort Benning once they pass tryouts. Or, you could simply enlist on an Airborne contract, and opt for an Airborne unit as your first duty assignment (82nd Airborne or 173rd Infantry Brigade are the main ones, as is any unit subordinate to SOCOM, including the 160th SOAR, Psychological Operations and Civil Affairs, etc.).
