Take a look at DUContext (base class of TopDUContext). The latter you get via 
DUChain::self()->chainForDocument();

Also take a look at duchainutils.h and e.g. declarationInLine().

To get all, uses and declarations, in a given line, you'd have to iterate over 
them, afaiks the current API has no functions to give you that in one simple 
call.

Instead do something like 

ReferencedTopDUContext ctx = KDevelop::standardContextForUrl(...);

DUContext* ctx = KDevelop::findContextAt(yourLinePos);

foreach(Declaration* dec, ctx->localDeclarations() {
  // find declarations in given line by comparing against dec->range()
}

FOREACH_FUNCTION(const KDevelop::Use& use, ctx->uses) {
  // same as above
}

good luck

PS: sending to the developer ML, please register there and point your future 
questions there.
