We use tall for people, buildings (with many floors), trees, and some things that are taller than they are wide (e.g. chimneys, telephone poles, doors).
How tall are you? (Not how high are you which by the way has a totally different implication concerning drugs). Those tall trees are beautiful.
Mt. Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe. How high is wall around the pool? How high is the cat in the tree?
Measurements
When using measurements we use tall for people and high for objects. I am 5'6" tall (5 feet 6 inches). That house is about 30 feet high
