I store all my *actual* org files on Dropbox, along with the Mobile Org
versions. This gives me sync'ing between all my computers with Dropbox
installed.

This I am not sure about, although some people use org-crypt for this
I think. There is also something called "mobile org crypt" also which
lets you store encrypted org files on Dropbox for viewing on the iphone.

Not if you just use Dropbox for storing your actual org files. Also,
there is org-mobile-pull that should pull in any notes captured on
the iPhone and place them in an org file of your choosing for
refiling.
As for calendar, there are tools on the list for synching with
Google calendar, although not from mobile org as far as I know.
