I am going to say no, there is no easy way to get at the last row without
reading sequentially through the file. The reason is simply that most
parsers work that way, you open the file and then work though it from
beginning to end. Having said that, I am sure that it would be possible to
do something like you ask using a DOM parser but that means reading all of
the file into memory first and would negate all notions of memory
efficiency. There must be a parser - I am assuming this however - that makes
it possible for you to position a pointer within the file and then read from
that point. If you can find such a tool, then use this and create an
algorithm that steps through the file in chunks looking for the last row and
then working on it.

With regard to getting your questions answered, please do remember that this
is not a commercial product and that everyone here volunteers their time.
Yes, many do use POI as a tool in their 'day jobs' but not all. The only
advice I can offer is to make your questions clear and concise.
