Obtaining the IP Address:
No. That is not an option.
Recovering Deleted Messages:
What to Consider:
A. Restore from Today's Backup:
Restore your iPhone from a backup of it that contains these messages, and you could recover them.
B. Check Messages App:
If messages was enabled on your iPhone along with your Apple computer, then check and see if the Messages app is enabled on your Mac to see if it exists in it. You'd start up your Mac, not connecting to the Internet, and open the Massages app. Then proceed from there with retrieving it. Important: Be certain you do not connect to the Internet while booting up, as syncing would delete it. So, power off your router to avoid the connection.
C. Recently Deleted:
For iOS16 and later, see if they are in the Recently Select folder.
D. Carrier's Site:
Some carriers allow you to view your messages on their site, depending on the service you are paying. So, log in to is, seeing if it is seen.
Elsewise, if they're gone, they're gone. That's just the way it is :(
