If you link to calendar pages they should show up as "placeholders" in
the index. Did you try the option "link to date" in the dialog ?

You can use a colon ":" in a page name to create namespaces.

Alternatively this may be a good use for tags. E.g. create a namespace
with persons, but group them with tags. The tag plugin will give you
an alternative index where you can find the pages per tag.

Sure, that is called an "interwiki link" - have a look at the manual
for the details.
