I never did anything like that, but I suppose you'd use

  pango_font_get_glyph_extents or 
  pango_font_get_metrics

and use that data to calculate what you need.  Another possibility might
be

  gtk_text_view_get_line_yrange.

I think you just need to play around a bit and/or look at how other
programs do it.

This can be done with

  gtk_window_set_geometry_hints and/or
  gdk_window_set_geometry_hints.
