I'm trying to figure out how to get the number of rows in an org-table,
but I can't find this in the documentation. 

Anyone have an idea?

The vcount function will count the number of elements in a vector, so
you could probably pass a range reference, like @1..@> (first row to
last row) to vcount. I think empty rows would be omitted, though.

As always, there might be some Org function for this, but otherwise here
is a starting point:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun tj/count-tbl-rows (&optional tbl-as-lisp)
    "Return number of tbl rows for tbl at point."
    (interactive)
    (let ((rows (if tbl-as-lisp
                    (length tbl-as-lisp)
                  (length (org-table-to-lisp)))))
      (message "Table has %d Rows" rows)
      rows))
#+end_src

#+results:
: tj/count-tbl-rows

#+NAME: nice-tbl
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |

#+header: :var data=nice-tbl
#+begin_src emacs-lisp 
(tj/count-tbl-rows data)
#+end_src

#+results:
: 6

Yes.

It depends on whether the mode "E" is used or not, see
http://orgmode.org/manual/Formula-syntax-for-Calc.html
