The official Google Voice app allows you to receive your SMS messages as push notifications. The app also shows a badge to indicate how many contacts have SMSed you.

I know it's a bit of a long work around, but you can launch a CallMe contact application with Activator. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, Activator cannot invoke applications from the lockscreen. You could set the Activator action "At the Lockscreen" to unlock and then the same action...

SHSH blobs are calculated specifically for your device by Apple. Using someone else's isn't going to help you.

You can use Pwnage Tool to jailbreak 4.0.1 on phones with bootloaders of 359.3 or lower. (The iPhone4 has 374.4 making this impossible obviously.)

This is a complex question. It depends on the version of your bootloader. Place the phone into DFU mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034 Then, start the USB Proper app (spotlight for it). Scan your USB ports and find the device named "Apple Mobile Device (DFU mode)"...
