Copy this snippet to a Workspace and you'll find the answer to all of your 
questions:

"Evaluate the following two lines."
theObject := 42. "Just an object, could be anything."
method := theObject class lookupSelector: #factorial. "Since we know that the object is an integer, and we know that integers understand a message named factorial, therefore we can fetch the method for that name."
"Then print the following lines one by one."
method getSource. "Print this to get the exact source code."
method decompileString. "Print this to get the decompiled source code."
method class. "Print this to get the class of the method"
