2. Use of an icon inside a DetailTableView to link to the contact page. The detail view is brought up after clicking on the ‘BD’ or ‘DE’. The contact is brought from the icon on the top Right side

    The arrow is the iPhone standard. I wouldn’t deviate too far from it in a standard app. As long as your intent behind using the arrow is identical to Apple’s, it’s also the better choice for getting in the app store — one less pedantic reason for them to reject you.

    Plus the vCard icon just doesn’t look quite “right” to me. I can’t put my finger on why, it just … doesn’t. (Although I understand that it may be a temporary icon, a mockup, and you may finalize it later. But be careful that you don’t use the generic headshot silhouette icon; that would differ in meaning and give Apple’s reviewers another opportunity for rejection.)
