It is the date for which t = 0 in the formulas; e.g., for yield term
structures the reference date is the one for which discount = 1.

At this time, these calendars aren't being implemented. If you do implement
them (you can clone and modify other calendars,) I'll be happy to include
them in the library.

The test suite would be the place to look. A number of classes are used
there, either for testing the classes themselves or in order to setup tests
for other classes. You can look at the sources in the test-suite directory.

Alas, not yet---see my previous answer to Przemyslaw Sliwa for my thoughts
on the subject.
