As for Siri, I think Siri might give you an advantage when you have to input using the keyboard such as sending a message. Personally I find it more of an effort to say a command so I rather just type it since I can type pretty fast with high accuracy but for those who find typing slow or too much effort then Siri is a good alternative, just not for everyone.

To answer your specific question, yes it can send messages/emails, and view/edit calendar entries while locked. I really like how you can tell it time periods for the calendar (what am I doing today/this week/this weekend).
Where the line is drawn can be confusing at times. For instance:
1) You can listen to a new text message, but you
cannot have Siri read a previously read/listened to text message. It will read you a new text message and give the option to repeat it, but after that you can't access it anymore. It would be great if you could say "read me the last text message from my wife...".
2) Emails seem to be a barrier. You can send from it just fine, but viewing a list of new emails requires unlock for some reason
3) Siri will not read an email to you which is unfortunate.
You can pretty much do everything else while locked. I would imagine as Siri develops those things will change.
