I've been fighting this for a while now, but:

is it possible to get the previous dissector protocol header
information

In general, no.

In particular, yes, for some information.

like for example, if I'm in TCP can I get the IP header
information?!

Note that "IP" doesn't necessarily mean IPv4, as TCP runs over IPv6 as well. What information are you trying to get?
