Good presentation and even better questions :)

1) Yes, you will be able to exit the airport and do some sightseeing in relation to your flight arrival/departure.
2) If you are traveling on a single (through) ticket and it seems so by your mentioning of China Eastern, it is almost certain that your luggage will be tagged all the way to Kolkata. Anyway, to be entirely certain about this particular detail, you will ask this at check-in in San Francisco.
3) Yes, you will apply for a temporary entry permit at 24 hour visa free transit counter because your next flight will be a domestic one. This permit will be granted to you because of your itinerary. Simply speaking, there is no other way.

Also, you will print out your flight tickets and have those printouts with you and also you will declare at check-in in San Francisco that you will travel to Kolkata via China using 24 hour visa free transit. Your itinerary is perfectly eligible for this visa free transit scheme.
