A:

You have somehow activated VoiceOver, a feature for visually impaired users. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5018

Yes, it's normal behavior for the Voiceover function.

It's designed for the visually impaired. If it helps, try using your iPhone with your eyes closed. With the first tap, VO begins to read what is on the screen. When you hear the item that you want to select, tap the screen (anywhere) a second time.
