I am doing the Build a Self-Destructing Message iPhone App project, and by minute 9:30 on Retrieving Data From Parse.com Ben is already able to open messages by clicking on the cell (using didSelectRowAtIndexPath probably). However, he has not actually done this in the video. Should I keep watching, or try to do it on my own?

I haven't had much experience with the UITableView class before but after briefly looking over your code I've noticed two things that stand out to me.
The first is your numberOfSectionsInTableView method is returning 0 which from memory tells iOS that you don't have any data to assign to the view even if it's bound, this value should at least be 1, again it's been a while since I've got stuck into objective-c so it's just my observation.
The second is even once your code is working cellForRowAtIndexPath will continue to fail as you're not returning the cell back which is what the method return type is looking for.
Hope that helps.

Keep going, by the look of it he continues explaining things in the next couple of videos.
I am also experiencing a glitch where every user has the same friends.
I'm not familiar with the course and Parse but maybe Ben Jakuben can help you out with that question.
